Magnesium chloride desiccant (MgCl2)

Beztek® Magnesium Chloride Desiccant stands out for its high moisture absorption capacity, safety, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. Whether you need to protect food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, or industrial equipment, this reliable desiccant ensures optimal moisture control and product preservation.

Key Characteristics
  • High Moisture Absorption:

MgCl₂ can absorb up to 200% of its weight in moisture, transforming from a powder to a solid upon absorption. This makes it highly effective in controlling humidity and preventing moisture-related damage.

  • Non-Toxic and Less Corrosive:

MgCl₂ is generally considered non-toxic and less corrosive compared to similar products, making it safer for use with goods such as pharmaceuticals and food products.

  • Environmentally Friendly:

MgCl₂ is considered more environmentally friendly compared to some other desiccants, such as calcium chloride. Its production and disposal have a lower environmental impact.

  • Versatility:

MgCl₂ is used in a variety of applications, including dust control, de-icing, and as a mineral supplement. Its ability to absorb moisture makes it suitable for packaging and preserving goods in various industries.

  • Odor Neutralization:

MgCl₂ comes with natural odor-neutralizing properties, which can be beneficial in controlling unpleasant odors.

  • Cost-Effective:

Depending on availability and production costs, MgCl₂ can be a cost-effective alternative to other desiccants. The effect is particularly noticeable on a large scale when compared to conventional desiccants such as silica gel and clay.

  • Lower Freezing Point:

MgCl₂ has a lower freezing point compared to some other desiccants, making it effective in colder climates for de-icing and dust control applications.

Applications

1. Shipment Containers:
Actively reduces humidity inside containers, protecting goods from moisture damage during transit.

2. Industrial Processes:
Controls humidity and prevents corrosion in equipment and machinery, with the combination of leak proof packaging material.

3. Textiles and Furniture:
Prevents mold growth during the storage and transportation of fabrics and furniture by controlling humidity levels.
