Magnesium Perchlorate

Magnesium Perchlorate (Formula: Mg(ClO₄)₂) is used in pyrotechnics, rocket propellants, and chemical synthesis. Available in 25KG and 125KG drums. Buy from trusted suppliers.

Applications

• Rocket Propellants: Magnesium Perchlorate is used as an oxidizer in solid rocket propellants, improving the energy release and efficiency.
• Electronics Industry: It is utilized in the manufacture of special electronic materials, including components for high-performance circuits.
• Pyrotechnics: As a strong oxidizing agent, it is used in fireworks and other pyrotechnic compositions to enhance the intensity of the reactions.
• Chemical Synthesis: Magnesium Perchlorate is involved in various organic and inorganic chemical reactions as an oxidizing agent.
• Desiccant: It serves as a dehydrating agent in drying applications and chemical processes where moisture needs to be removed.
• Catalysis: Used in specific catalytic reactions in industrial chemistry for improving reaction rates and selectivity.

Hazardous Identification

• GHS Classification:
  • Oxidizing Solid (Category 1)
  • Acute Toxicity (Category 4, inhalation)
  • Skin Irritation (Category 2)
  • Eye Irritation (Category 1)
• Hazard Statements (H Codes):

  • P370+P378: In case of fire: Use water spray or foam to extinguish.

Storage & Safety

• Storage Conditions:
  • Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
  • Keep containers tightly closed and avoid exposure to moisture.
  • Avoid storing near heat sources, open flames, or combustible materials.
  • Protect from direct sunlight and store away from reducing agents or organic materials to prevent hazardous reactions.
• Moisture Control:
  • Store in sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption, which could lead to degradation.
  • Ensure storage area is dry, and relative humidity is controlled below 50%.
• Safety Notes:
  • Handling: Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and a respirator when handling Magnesium Perchlorate to avoid skin and eye contact or inhalation of dust.
  • Spill Handling: In case of a spill, use an inert material (such as sand or dry earth) to contain and transfer to a suitable disposal container. Do not use water to clean up the spill.
  • Fire Safety: If exposed to fire, use large amounts of water or foam to extinguish. Magnesium Perchlorate is an oxidizer and can intensify fires.
