Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Catalyst in Polyester & Acetate Polymer Synthesis : Acts as a catalyst or co-catalyst in the esterification and transesterification processes to manufacture polymers like polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
  • Precursor in Magnesium Compound Production : Used in the production of other magnesium salts, such as magnesium hydroxide and magnesium oxide, via controlled decomposition or reaction.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Source of Magnesium in Formulations : Provides a bioavailable form of magnesium used in oral supplements, injections, or dialysis solutions for treating magnesium deficiency.
  • Stabilizer or Buffering Agent : Maintains pH stability and acts as a buffer in injectable and oral pharmaceutical preparations.

3. Fabric Solutions

  • Mordant in Dyeing Processes : Functions as a mordant, improving the bonding of dyes to natural fibers like cotton and wool, especially for acid and reactive dyes.
  • Anti-creasing and Anti-pilling Agent : Helps reduce fiber distortion and creasing during high-temperature treatments in textile finishing.

4. Agrochemicals

  • Micronutrient Fertilizer : Supplies magnesium to soil and plants, which is essential for chlorophyll synthesis and enzyme activation.
  • pH Buffer in Fertilizer Blends : Used to stabilize acidic fertilizer solutions, improving compatibility in liquid nutrient formulations.

5. Water Treatment 

  • Precipitating Agent for Phosphate Removal : Magnesium acetate can assist in precipitating phosphates from wastewater, reducing nutrient pollution in effluents.
  • pH Adjuster : Functions as a pH buffer to maintain optimal ranges in industrial water systems and treatment plants.
