Applications:

  • Food Industry: Used as a food preservative and acidity regulator in food processing.

  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Serves as a magnesium supplement and stabilizer in drug formulations.

  • Industrial Applications: Acts as a catalyst in polyester production and other chemical reactions.

  • Deicing Agent: Applied in environmentally friendly deicing solutions for roads and runways.

  • Textile & Leather Industry: Used in dyeing and tanning processes to enhance fabric quality.

  • Laboratory Reagent: Commonly used in analytical chemistry and research applications.

How It Works:

  1. Provides a bioavailable magnesium source for food and pharmaceuticals.

  2. Acts as a pH buffer and stabilizer in various chemical processes.

  3. Enhances textile dye fixation and improves leather processing.

  4. Reduces ice formation in cold environments when used as a deicer.

Production Method & Raw Materials:
Magnesium Acetate is synthesized by reacting magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃) or magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) with acetic acid (CH₃COOH). The resulting solution undergoes crystallization, drying, and purification to obtain either anhydrous or tetrahydrate forms.

Safety & Handling Precautions:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

  • Use protective gloves and eyewear when handling in industrial applications.

  • Keep packaging sealed to prevent contamination and degradation.
