Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate – High Purity and Versatile Applications
Magnesium sulfate, with the chemical formula MgSO4, is an inorganic salt containing magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen. It is commonly found in its hydrated form, with the most common being the heptahydrate MgSO4·7H2O, also known as Epsom salt, widely used for its traditional applications. Produced using the latest technology at our modern facilities in Izmir Torbalı, Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate is 100% water-soluble and contains 9.5%–9.8% magnesium (Mg) and 15.8%–16.2% magnesium oxide (MgO), with an annual production capacity of 35,000 tons.
Applications
External Use: One of the most well-known external uses of magnesium sulfate is as bath salts, commonly used in foot baths to relieve aches and pains. It is also reported to have soothing effects for muscle aches and injury recovery, and it can prevent skin wrinkling caused by prolonged water exposure.
Internal Use: Magnesium sulfate can be administered orally, inhaled, or intravenously. Applications include addressing magnesium deficiency, treating acute arrhythmias, providing bronchodilation in asthma treatment, and preventing eclampsia.
Agriculture Industry: Magnesium sulfate is used as a soil amendment in agriculture to correct magnesium and sulfur deficiencies. It is commonly applied to magnesium-demanding crops such as potted plants, tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes. Compared to other magnesium sources, its high solubility and near-neutral pH allow for foliar feeding.
Food Industry: It serves as a brewing salt in beer production and acts as a coagulant in tofu manufacturing. Magnesium sulfate is preferred in both food and technical industries for its reliable performance.
Chemical Industry: Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is widely used as a drying agent in organic synthesis. It is also used in the preparation of special cements, which offer better bonding than Portland cement, and in the testing of various construction materials.
Aquarium Industry: Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is used in marine aquariums to balance magnesium levels, particularly in aquariums with large amounts of stony corals, to slow the calcification process and maintain a balanced ecosystem.
