Magnesium sulphate anhydrous is used as production accessorie in the production of thermoplastics such as ABS plastics (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or EPS (expandable polystyrene), which are used across the globe. The big advantage is the lower corrosion level compared to other salts.
Magnesium sulphate, potassium chloride and potassium sulphate are used as micronutrients in biotechnological procedures. Typical areas of application are yeast production as well as fermentation reactions for the production of proteins, enzymes, ethanol, vitamins, etc.
Magnesium sulphate anhydrous ist one of the most effective and most frequently used additive for e.g. anhydrite floors and lightweight boards, special types of gypsum and plasterboards.
Magnesium sulphate anhydrous serves as a basic material for various processes in industrial and commercial applications.
Sodium chloride is used as a basic ingredient in detergent processing.
When used as an ingredient in heavy-duty detergents, magnesium sulfate helps protect fabrics and has a neutral behaviour towards waste water. In liquid soaps, laundry detergents, and rinsing agents, magnesium sulfate is used to regulate viscosity.
Magnesium sulphate anhydrous is used as a mild desiccant for organic solvents in chemical laboratories.
Magnesium chloride solution effectively and easily binds dust. It retains moisture in the ground, causing dust particles to become heavier and significantly reducing the amount of dust that gets blown around.
Potassium chloride is used as a conducting salt in weaker acidic solutions for electro-galvanizing. This helps to achieve higher voltage, thereby reducing the immersion time of the galvanized parts.
Sodium chloride is suitable for the traditional preservation and preparation of cattle, calf and pig skins as well as sheep skins. The fresh hides are dehydrated through the use of hide salt. The salt has an antibacterial effect and protects the animal products from decay. These properties increase the shelf life of the hides and at the same time prepare them optimally for the tanning process.
Magnesium sulphate prevents leather from drying out and makes it more supple. It also promotes the binding of tanning agents. For these reasons, it is used as an auxiliary in the production of high-quality leather.
In metalworking, sodium chloride is used as a basic material.
Potassium chloride is important in metallurgical processes. For example, potassium chloride is used as hardening and soldering salts, as well as in foundry chemistry as melting salts.
Potassium chlorides are used as additives in water-based drilling fluids. Mainly used as shale inhibitors, these high-performance additives ensure maximum lubrication and the greatest possible borehole stability.
Sodium chloride is an important element in drilling fluids primarily used in the exploration and extraction of crude oil and natural gas. The use of industrial salt is suitable for the stabilization of the borehole as well as the lubrication and cooling of the drilling head. In the refining process of petroleum products - e.g. in the Merox process - industrial salt is applied in the filtration of the final product.
Sodium Chloride or potassium compounds are used in the manufacture of dyes and pigments. Due to its high sodium chloride content, industrial salt is used as a natural dyeing aid.
Potassium sulphate serves as a raw material for the manufacture of potassium peroxodisulphate in electrolytic processes. Potassium peroxodisulphate is used as an initiator for polymerisations in emulsions or in solutions and is used as an oxidizing agent in plastics processing, electronics, and bleaching processes.
Magnesium sulphate is needed in the processing of refractory materials. It is used to stabilize the green part during the drying and sintering process.
This technique is particularly suited for the production of components with inaccessible solder joints. One area of application of potassium chloride is the production of heat exchangers by flux bath soldering.
In the textile industry, sodium chloride is used as dye enhancer in the processing and refining of fabrics, such as cotton or linen. When used in a dye bath, salt ensures that the color fully penetrates the fabric, while improving its adhesion to the fiber.
Magnesium sulfate anhydrous is essential in the high-grade finishing of textiles. Their catalytic effect is necessary for the production of non-iron textile materials.
Depending on the production process, potassium chloride or magnesium sulphate can be used as auxiliary materials in the production of titanium dioxide. The excellent quality of these auxiliary materials has positive effects on particle size and brightness.
Magnesium sulphate anhydrous and epsom salt are essential to the spin baths conducted in the process of making rayon fibers.
In the synthetic production of zeolites (crystalline aluminosilicates) potassium chloride is used for adjusting pore size. Zeolites are used as molecular sieves and among other purposes are applied in the purification of natural gas.
Extracting valuable raw materials from the depths to the surface - this is only the beginning. We also offer the right solutions for the rest of the way to the customer. Thanks to our many years of experience in logistics and our production facilities on several continents, we guarantee fast and reliable delivery.
