Chemical Formula: MgCl? · 6H?O
Molecular Weight: 203.30 g/mol
Magnesium Chloride Flakes are a white to colorless crystalline compound widely used for de-icing, dust control, water treatment, and industrial applications. It is the hexahydrate form (MgCl?·6H?O), known for its high solubility in water and excellent hygroscopic properties. Due to its natural moisture-absorbing and stabilizing characteristics, Magnesium Chloride is also used in textiles, construction, and health products.

Applications

• De-icing & Dust Control:
  Used for melting ice on roads, driveways, and sidewalks, and for dust suppression on unpaved roads.

• Construction Industry:
  Acts as a setting accelerator in cement and concrete and is used in the manufacture of magnesium oxychloride cement.

• Water Treatment:
  Employed to stabilize hardness and improve water quality in treatment plants and aquaculture.

• Textile & Paper Industry:
  Used as a coagulant and dye-fixing agent in textile dyeing and paper sizing processes.

• Health & Wellness:
  Utilized in bath salts, mineral therapy, and magnesium supplementation due to its skin-friendly mineral content.
