Product information

Magnesium Sulfate Anhydrous typ. 98% MgSO4, (based on the anhydrous substance), is rapidly soluble in water with the release of heat, absorbs water up to 100% of its own weight, is less corrosive than other salts, and also acts as an anti-caking agent. 

Product proporties

  • Natural, concentrated source of magnesium and sulfur
  • Low in secondary salts and heavy metals
  • Offers flexibility in formulation
  • Homogeneous grain size distribution
  • Free flowing even at high temperatures and therefore easy to dose
  • Easy to grind
  • Acts as an anti-caking agent

Industrial application

ABS/EPS plastics

Magnesium sulfate 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 sulfate 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 sulfate anhydrous serves as a basic material for various processes in industrial and commercial applications.

Industrial application

Drying agents

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