Technical Flake Magnesium Chloride CAS 7791-18-6

Magnesium Chloride (MgCl₂) is primarily used in industry for various technical applications. It serves as a de-icing agent on roads in winter due to its ice-melting properties. Magnesium chloride is generally considered less harmful to the environment than sodium chloride, notably due to its lower impact on soil and freshwater salinity, as well as its lower corrosiveness. However, in large quantities, it can also pose problems of salt accumulation and affect certain ecosystems. It is also used in the manufacture of metals, notably magnesium. In water treatment, it is used for flocculation, helping to remove impurities. In addition, magnesium chloride is used in the textile industry for fiber treatment and as an additive in the manufacture of special cements.

It is available in 25 kg bags or full pallets of 1,000 kg.

SECTORS OF ACTIVITY

• Road sector
• Metallurgy
• Water treatment
• Textile industry

MAIN FUNCTIONS

• De-icing salt
• Flocculant
• Cement additive

USAGE TIPS

• Flocculation (water treatment): The dosage varies depending on the turbidity of the water to be treated, generally between 5 and 20 mg/L.
• Road de-icing: The dosage depends on the temperature and ice thickness, but it is often applied at concentrations of 20 to 30% aqueous solution.
• Magnesium production: The specific dosage depends on the production process, but concentrations of 30 to 50% in solution are common.
