Product Overview
Magnesium chloride UltraDry™ is a high-purity, anhydrous salt designed for applications where moisture contamination must be strictly controlled. With a minimum 99.9% purity on a metals basis, this grade eliminates trace water content that could interfere with sensitive chemical processes. The UltraDry™ designation ensures exceptional dryness levels, making it particularly suitable for reactions requiring anhydrous conditions or as a desiccant in controlled environments. The fine, free-flowing powder form allows for precise weighing and easy dissolution in compatible solvents. Unlike standard magnesium chloride, this grade undergoes rigorous drying processes to achieve its ultra-low moisture specification. The product is packaged under inert conditions to preserve its dryness during storage and handling. Its high solubility in polar solvents combined with minimal impurities makes it a reliable choice for demanding laboratory protocols where moisture could compromise results.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between UltraDry™ magnesium chloride and standard anhydrous magnesium chloride?
The UltraDry™ grade undergoes additional processing to achieve lower moisture content than standard anhydrous grades, with stricter quality control for metals purity at 99.9%.
2. Can this product be used as a desiccant in glove boxes?
Yes, its ultra-low moisture content and high surface area make it effective for maintaining dry atmospheres in glove boxes and other enclosed systems.
3. What solvents is this magnesium chloride compatible with?
It dissolves readily in water, alcohols, and other polar solvents, though compatibility should be verified for specific applications.
4. How should this product be stored to maintain its dryness?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas if possible, and keep in a cool, dry place away from atmospheric moisture.
5. Is this product suitable for organometallic reactions?
While it can be used in some organometallic applications, the specific reaction conditions should be evaluated as moisture sensitivity varies by system.
