Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate (Beads/Flakes)

Magnesium chloride hexahydrate, a hygroscopic magnesium salt available in beads and flake form, is used across construction, food, animal feed, and upstream applications. It is commonly employed as a deicing and dust control agent for roads and unpaved surfaces, where its strong moisture-attracting properties keep dust down and ice from forming. Additionally, it serves as a coagulant in food production, most notably as nigari used to set soy milk into tofu. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is also utilized as a magnesium supplement in animal feed and as an additive in oilfield drilling and completion fluids. Furthermore, it finds applications in municipal winter road maintenance programs requiring a reliable, high-solubility magnesium brine.
