Its neutral pH range ensures compatibility with various industrial processes without causing corrosive effects.
Secure Packaging and Long Shelf LifeTo preserve quality, Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is packed in robust HDPE bags with inner liners, available in 25 kg and 50 kg options. When stored in cool, dry conditions away from moisture, the compound maintains its integrity for up to 2 years, ensuring consistent performance for manufacturers and end-users.
FAQs of Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate:
Q: How should Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate be stored to ensure maximum shelf life?
A: Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate should be kept in a cool, dry place away from moisture, ideally in its original HDPE packaging with an inner liner. This preserves the products purity, crystalline structure, and extends its shelf life to up to 2 years.
Q: What industries commonly use Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate and what are its primary applications?
A: This compound is used extensively in de-icing, dust control, textile processing, and as a magnesium source in various chemical and industrial processes. Its high purity and solubility make it suitable for demanding applications across these sectors.
Q: When is Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate recommended for application in de-icing?
A: Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is best applied during snowy or icy conditions, especially in colder climates, due to its ability to rapidly dissolve and efficiently lower the freezing point of water on roads and surfaces.
Q: Where is Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate typically exported from and what regulations does it conform to?
A: It is commonly exported from India and meets regulatory standards such as CAS No. 7791-18-6 and EINECS No. 232-094-6, ensuring quality and safety for industrial use internationally.
Q: What is the process for handling Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate safely during usage?
A: Users should wear appropriate protective equipment to avoid prolonged skin or eye contact, ensure good ventilation, and handle the product with dry tools to prevent accidental dissolution or clumping. Adhering to standard industrial safety protocols is advised.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate over other de-icing agents?
A: Its high solubility, neutral pH, and minimal ash content allow for rapid activation, reduced corrosiveness, and less residue, making it a preferred choice for effective, environmentally safer de-icing and dust suppression.
