How It Works:
Provides a bioavailable magnesium source for food and pharmaceuticals.
Acts as a pH buffer and stabilizer in various chemical processes.
Enhances textile dye fixation and improves leather processing.
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.
