Introduction, Classification and Properties of Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride

I. Introduction, Classification and Properties of Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride

1. Introduction to Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride Chemical formula: MgCl₂, CAS No.: 7786-30-3, molecular weight: 95.211. It appears as colorless flaky crystals, slightly soluble in acetone, and soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, etc.

2. Classification of Anhydrous Magnesium ChlorideIn our Yuze anhydrous magnesium chloride manufacturing factory, it is divided into two categories according to usage: food grade and industrial grade. According to appearance and shape, it is divided into anhydrous magnesium chloride powder (powdered anhydrous magnesium chloride), anhydrous magnesium chloride blocks (large and small), and flakes. In terms of content, it is divided into below 98%, 98%, and 99%-99.9%. According to quality, there are more than 3 types (on the premise of the same shape and content), with differences reflected in parameters, usage, impurities, appearance color, etc.

3. Properties of Powdered Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride Not only powdered anhydrous magnesium chloride, but also anhydrous magnesium chloride of other shapes have the same properties:

4. Strong moisture absorption: When powdered anhydrous magnesium chloride is placed in the air, if the surrounding environment is relatively humid, the anhydrous magnesium chloride powder will cake or stick in a short time; if continuously humidified, it will present a very thick liquid state.

5. Flocculation or coagulation effect: This feature is especially used in substances containing protein. For example, after adding it to soybean milk, the original water-like soybean milk will form irregular small lumps in a short time, and settle at the bottom over time. Therefore, this feature is also reflected in sewage treatment and paper pulp links.

6. Heat release: Anhydrous magnesium chloride releases a lot of heat when it encounters a large amount of water, but not all of it. Due to the differences in production processes and raw materials of anhydrous magnesium chloride manufacturers, the performance is slightly different; most of them will release a lot of heat, especially anhydrous magnesium chloride powder. The temperature will quickly rise to about 85-90℃, then slowly drop.

7. Other properties such as low temperature resistance.

II、Parameters of Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride Powder:

III. Classification of Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride Powder

At Yuze, a manufacturer of anhydrous magnesium chloride powder, products are classified into two categories by application: food grade and industrial grade.By purity: below 98%, 98%, and 99%–99.9%.By quality: we offer more than three grades.Our products meet both domestic and export standards for markets including Europe, America, the Middle East, and other regions.

IV. Price of Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride Powder

At Yuze magnesium chloride manufacturer, the price of anhydrous magnesium chloride powder generally ranges from 2,5000 RMB/ton to 6500 RMB/ton.The price difference is mainly due to differences in classification, such as application, purity, quality, and other specifications.

V. Packaging of Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride Powder

Our standard packaging for anhydrous magnesium chloride powder is:

· 25 kg/bag

· 50 kg/bag

· Jumbo bags (ton bags)

Custom packaging is available for export orders.

VI. Storage Requirements for Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride Powder

Anhydrous magnesium chloride powder and other hydrated magnesium chloride products are highly hygroscopic.They must be stored:

· In a sealed, moisture-proof, cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse

· Away from ignition sources and heat

· Protected from direct sunlight

· Separated from oxidizing agents (no mixed storage)

The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials for containing spills.

VII. Shelf Life of Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride Powder

Under proper storage and good sealing conditions, the shelf life is generally 1.5 to 2 years.
