Product information

Epsom salt, fine crystalline, technical is ideal for chemical processes, fermentation, or as a functional additive in technical applications. A powerful natural product with many benefits:

  • With seven moles of bound crystal water
    Magnesium Sulfate 49.3 %, crystal water (H₂O) 50.5 %
  • Twice as fine crystalline as standard product
    0.5 mm = 80 %, d50 = 0.4 mm
  • Gradually releases crystal water when heated
  • Low levels of secondary salts and heavy metals
  • Fully water-soluble and color-neutral
  • Less corrosive than chloride compounds
  • Unconditioned, free-flowing

Application areas

Industrial application

ABS/EPS plastics

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.

Industrial application

Building and construction materials

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.

Industrial application

Drying agents

Magnesium sulphate anhydrous is used as a mild desiccant for organic solvents in chemical laboratories.

Industrial application

Viscose

Magnesium sulphate anhydrous is essential to the spin baths conducted in the process of making rayon fibers.

Industrial application

Refractory products

Magnesium sulphate is needed in the processing of refractory materials. It is used to stabilize the green part during the drying and sintering process.
