Magnesium Chloride

CAS 7786-30-3 (Anhydrous) | CAS 7791-18-6 (Hexahydrate)

Product Overview

Magnesium Chloride (MgCl₂) is an inorganic salt widely used across food, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and industrial applications. It is highly soluble in water and provides a concentrated source of magnesium ions.

Applications

Our Magnesium Chloride is used in various industries:

Food & beverage – Tofu coagulant (nigari), mineral water fortification, brewing adjunct, food additive (E511)

Pharmaceuticals – Magnesium supplements, oral rehydration salts, dialysis solutions, laxatives

Animal feed – Magnesium source for livestock and poultry to prevent grass tetany

Agriculture – Soil nutrient supplement for magnesium-deficient crops

Industrial – Dust control on roads, de-icing agent, wastewater treatment, textile printing fixative

Personal care – Bath flakes, magnesium oil sprays for muscle relaxation

For dietary supplement use – Magnesium chloride supports normal muscle function, nervous system health, and electrolyte balance. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What is the difference between hexahydrate and anhydrous magnesium chloride?

A: Hexahydrate contains six water molecules (MgCl₂·6H₂O) and is the most common, cost-effective form for most applications. Anhydrous is water-free, more concentrated (higher Mg content), and is used in specific industrial processes or when water content is undesirable.

Q2: Is our magnesium chloride food-grade safe for tofu making?

A: Yes, our food-grade magnesium chloride (E511) is widely used as a tofu coagulant (nigari). It meets FCC and national food safety standards. COA and food safety certificates are provided.

Q3: Can I get a sample before bulk order?

A: Absolutely. Free samples (500g–1kg) are available. You only pay for shipping. Contact our sales team.

Q4: What is the magnesium content?

A: Hexahydrate: ~12% Mg by weight. Anhydrous: ~25.5% Mg by weight. Exact values are on the COA.

Q5: Is magnesium chloride suitable for dust control?

A: Yes, industrial grade magnesium chloride is highly effective for dust suppression on unpaved roads and construction sites due to its hygroscopic nature (absorbs moisture from air).

Q6: Do you provide Kosher or Halal certification?

A: Yes, we can provide Kosher and Halal certificates for food/pharma grades upon request (additional documentation fee may apply).

Q7: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: For food/pharma grade: 25 kg (one bag). For industrial grade: 1 ton or one pallet (40 bags). Smaller MOQ for sample orders.

Q8: How should magnesium chloride be stored?

A: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Keep bags sealed when not in use because MgCl₂ is highly hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from air and may clump or liquefy).

Q9: Is it safe for use in animal feed?

A: Yes, feed-grade magnesium chloride is used to supplement magnesium in cattle, sheep, and poultry diets, especially to prevent grass tetany (hypomagnesemia) in grazing animals.

Q10: What documents do you provide with each shipment?

A: Commercial invoice, packing list, COA (Certificate of Analysis), MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), and origin certificate. Third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas) can be arranged at buyer’s cost.

Q11: Can magnesium chloride be used in bath products?

A: Yes, many personal care brands use high-purity magnesium chloride flakes for bath soaks and magnesium oil sprays to support muscle relaxation. We recommend food or pharma grade for cosmetic applications.

Q12: What is the lead time for bulk orders?

A: 7–10 days for standard 25kg bags. For jumbo bags or custom packaging, 15–20 days.

L-Methionine is typically packaged in 25 kg fiber drums or multi-layer paper bags lined with polyethylene to protect it from moisture and external contaminants. Customized packaging solutions are available upon request to meet specific customer requirements and preferences.
