China and the United States are the leading exporters of magnesium chloride hexahydrate, accounting for a substantial share of global supply, while Germany, South Korea, and Mexico are among the top importers, driven by industrial demand in chemical synthesis and dust control. Recent data indicates relative stability in export volumes from major suppliers, though fluctuations in magnesium chloride hexahydrate prices have accompanied shifts in regional procurement strategies, particularly in North America and East Asia.
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is a white to off-white, crystalline, hygroscopic solid with no characteristic odor and low volatility. It is an inorganic salt and the hydrated form of magnesium chloride, containing six water molecules per formula unit. It melts at approximately 117 °C (with decomposition) and is highly soluble in water. Industrially, it serves as a key precursor for magnesium metal production via electrolysis and as a source of magnesium ions in catalysts, coagulants, and flame retardants. Typical application areas include dust control and road stabilization, de-icing formulations, wastewater treatment, and as a raw material in the synthesis of magnesium oxide, basic magnesium carbonates, and other magnesium-based chemicals used in construction, agriculture, and pharmaceutical excipients.
Used in adjustment of ion strength.
