XRD Chemical is a professional Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous manufacturer and supplier in China, offering high-purity anhydrous MgCl₂ powder (99%) for specialized industrial and chemical applications.
Our magnesium chloride anhydrous is a white, highly hygroscopic crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 95.21 g/mol. Unlike the more common hexahydrate form, the anhydrous grade contains no water of crystallization, making it essential for applications where moisture would interfere with chemical reactions or product quality. The powder exhibits a hexagonal crystal structure of the CdCl₂ type, consisting of cubic close-packed chloride ions with magnesium ions occupying all octahedral interstices.
Key applications include magnesium metal production via electrolysis of molten MgCl₂, a primary industrial route to lightweight structural metal. It also serves as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis, a precursor for Grignard reagent preparation, a raw material for magnesium oxychloride (Sorel) cement and fireproofing compositions, and a laboratory reagent for competent cell preparation. Pharmaceutical grade is available for use as a magnesium source in parenteral nutrition and dialysis solutions.
