Hexahydrate Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2·6H2O) is a fascinating inorganic compound whose properties are central to its widespread industrial utility. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers this chemical in various grades, understanding that its scientific behavior is key to its application success.

At its core, Hexahydrate Magnesium Chloride is an ionic compound, consisting of magnesium cations (Mg2+) and chloride anions (Cl-), hydrated with six molecules of water. Its crystalline structure and high solubility in polar solvents like water and alcohols are direct consequences of these ionic and hydrogen bonding interactions. This solubility is fundamental to its use as a solution in applications ranging from food additives to deicing agents.

The hygroscopic nature of Hexahydrate Magnesium Chloride means it readily absorbs moisture from the air. This property is advantageous when used as a snowmelt agent, as the absorbed moisture helps initiate the dissolution process. However, it also necessitates careful storage, as highlighted by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD.'s recommendation to store it in dry, draughty environments to prevent caking.

In the textile industry, its role as a filling agent may involve interactions with fabric fibers, potentially altering their surface properties or binding characteristics. Similarly, in paper making, it can influence the interaction between cellulose fibers and other additives, affecting paper strength and structure. When you buy magnesium chloride for these purposes, these chemical interactions are implicitly leveraged.

The purity levels, as specified in grades like USP31, are critical because trace impurities can significantly alter the chemical behavior and safety profile of the compound. For example, high levels of heavy metals are unacceptable in food-grade applications. Therefore, understanding the chemistry behind the specifications when you purchase magnesium chloride is vital.
