Magnesium chloride hexahydrate refers to the six water molecules in it, with the chemical formula MgCl2·6H2O. There are many processing technologies for Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate in magnesium chloride manufacturers. For example, magnesium chloride hexahydrate produced with brine is called brine flakes, brine powder, etc. There is also magnesium chloride hexahydrate produced by acid method, which is characterized by its relatively white appearance and transparent white. These two are the main processes of magnesium chloride manufacturers.
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is divided into food grade, industrial grade and aquaculture feed grade according to different uses, and its main performance is different in parameters.
Food grade is mainly used as a coagulant or thickener in food, such as brine tofu, which is mainly used in protein-containing foods. There are more applications in the industrial grade, mainly using its adsorption capacity as a desiccant, coagulant, release agent, flame retardant, etc. The aquaculture grade mainly uses the magnesium, calcium, sodium, etc. contained in it to increase the absorption of trace elements by fish, shrimp, crab, algae, vegetation, etc. According to its appearance, it is divided into hexahydrate magnesium chloride flakes, hexahydrate magnesium chloride granules, hexahydrate magnesium chloride powder, etc., mainly for the convenience of users. In terms of color, it is divided into many types such as transparent white, milky white, grayish white, and brown. The first three are called white magnesium, and the latter is called Pumei. In terms of content, hexahydrate magnesium chloride is divided into 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47%, and the commonly used is about 46%.
1. Use Raw materials for other chemical products: used as raw materials for the production of magnesium products such as magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium oxide.
2. Building materials industry: in magnesite products, it can be made into high-quality magnesium tiles, high-quality fireproof boards, magnesium packaging boxes, magnesium decoration boards, lightweight wall panels,
3. Machinery industry, molds and stoves are mainly used as release agents.
4. Transportation industry: used as road deicing and snow melting agent, with fast deicing speed and anti-icing effect.
5. In coal mines: as flame retardant, road dust suppressant, etc.
6. Building materials: Magnesium oxide and magnesite are used to prepare hard and corrosion-resistant magnesium cement, which can be used to prepare artificial marble, magnesia tiles, floors, ceilings, decorative panels, fireproof panels, greenhouse brackets, inorganic fiberglass greenhouse frames, magnesia insulation chicken houses, corrugated colored tiles, ventilation ducts, partition boards, magnesia manhole covers, bathtubs, door and window frames, and mobile homes, etc. It is used as an antifreeze during winter construction.
7. Food industry: Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is a protein coagulant. Tofu made from brine is more delicious than tofu made from gypsum. It is also used as an additive in some foods.
