Application of magnesium chloride hexahydrate and anhydrous magnesium chloride in glass production

Under normal circumstances, glass production should choose Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate.
​
The difference between magnesium chloride hexahydrate and anhydrous magnesium chloride:
The molecular formula Of Magnesium Chloride hexahydrate is MgCl2·6H2O, which is a white crystal powder, easily soluble in water, and is often used in glass, ceramics, dyes and other industries. Anhydrous magnesium chloride molecular formula for MgCl2, is colorless transparent crystal, often used in industrial salt, chlorine and other industries.

Application of magnesium chloride hexahydrate in glass production:
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate has the following applications as a raw material compound in glass production.
1. Glass thickener
As a glass thickener, magnesium chloride hexahydrate can improve the viscosity and strength of glass and make glass molding more perfect.
2. Glass degassing agent
As a glass degassing agent, magnesium chloride hexahydrate can effectively absorb oxygen and nitrogen inside the glass, reduce the residue of gas in the glass, and ensure the quality and transparency of the glass.
3. Glass cleaner
Magnesium chloride hexahydrate as a glass cleaner, can remove the oil and dirt on the surface of the glass, make the glass more transparent and bright.
