Product Overview
Magnesium chloride, UltraDry™ (99.99% metals basis) is a high-purity anhydrous salt designed for moisture-sensitive applications where trace water content can compromise results. Its ultra-low hygroscopicity ensures stability in air-sensitive reactions, making it ideal for advanced synthesis, catalysis, and dehydration processes. The 99.99% purity level minimizes metallic impurities, reducing side reactions in organometallic chemistry or coordination complexes. This grade is processed under stringent conditions to eliminate residual moisture, providing consistent performance in anhydrous solvents or glove-box environments. The fine, free-flowing powder dissolves rapidly in polar solvents without clumping, ensuring homogeneous solutions for precise stoichiometry. Its high thermal stability allows use in elevated-temperature reactions without decomposition. Unlike standard magnesium chloride, the UltraDry™ variant undergoes additional purification steps to meet the demands of high-end research and industrial applications where moisture control is critical.
FAQs
1
What is the difference between UltraDry™ and standard magnesium chloride?
UltraDry™ undergoes additional drying and purification to achieve <0.005% moisture content, while standard grades may contain 1-5% water, affecting reactivity in anhydrous systems. 2
Can this be used directly in glove boxes without further drying?
Yes, the UltraDry™ grade is pre-dried to meet glove-box standards and can be used as-received for most air-sensitive applications. 3
What solvents is this magnesium chloride most soluble in?
It exhibits high solubility in water, alcohols (methanol, ethanol), and polar aprotic solvents like THF or acetonitrile, with limited solubility in nonpolar solvents. 4
How should this be stored to maintain its anhydrous properties?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas (argon/nitrogen) with desiccant packs, away from humidity and direct light. 5
Is this grade suitable for electrochemical applications?
Yes, its high purity and low moisture content make it appropriate for electrolyte formulations in batteries or electroplating solutions.
