What is Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate? Also known by alternate names such as Epsom Salt (when hydrated), Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate, and Magnesium Sulphate, it is a crystalline compound commonly used in industrial, agricultural, and pharmaceutical applications. The heptahydrate form, contains seven molecules of water of crystallisation per molecule of magnesium sulphate and has the chemical formula MgSO₄·7H₂O. This highly soluble and versatile compound is valued for its ability to supply magnesium and sulphate ions, which are essential for numerous biological and chemical processes. It is used across various sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, water treatment, and manufacturing. Consistent Quality: We use only carefully sourced Magnesium Sulphate Heptahydrate, meeting the standards of Food Grade and the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), ensuring reliable and consistent performance for a wide range of industrial, agricultural, and pharmaceutical applications. Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers, ensuring safe handling and maintaining the product’s quality during transport. Frequent Uses Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical ApplicationsCommonly used in the pharmaceutical industry for intravenous or oral administration as a source of magnesium. It is used in medical treatments for magnesium deficiency, eclampsia, and as a laxative. It is also a key ingredient in formulations for treating certain conditions related to the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular systems. Agricultural ApplicationsWidely used as a fertiliser to address magnesium and sulphur deficiencies in soil. This helps to improve plant health, enhance photosynthesis, and promote enzyme activity. It is especially beneficial for crops such as potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables that require high magnesium and sulphur levels. Water TreatmentUsed in water treatment to purify and improve water quality. It helps in the removal of phosphorus and nitrogen, which can contribute to algae growth in water bodies. It is also used in the treatment of wastewater, particularly in processes that require the removal of impurities and contaminants. Industrial ApplicationsEmployed as a drying agent, stabiliser, or catalyst. Used in chemical manufacturing, textile production (as a mordant for dyeing), and in the production of detergents. Its ability to absorb water and stabilise reactions makes it valuable in a range of applications. Cosmetic and Personal CareUtilised in personal care products such as bath salts, body scrubs, and foot soaks. It is known for its therapeutic properties, particularly in soothing sore muscles and reducing inflammation. It is also used in some hair care products to improve hair strength and overall health. Chemical SynthesisServes as a source of magnesium and sulphate ions. It is used in laboratories and industrial settings for its role in facilitating chemical reactions or as a component in the production of other chemical compounds A common pharmaceutical preparation of magnesium Bath salts Isolation tanks Main preparation of intravenous magnesium Used in gardening Used as a desiccant in organic synthesis Assay: >99.5% M.F.: MgSO4.7H2O M.W.: 246.47 g/mol M.P.: 170-171°C Solubility in water (% weight): 246.48 g/l at 20C Density (g/cm3): 1.678 Magnesium Sulphate: 49.2% Water: <50.7�.5%M.F.: MgSO4.7H2OM.W.: 246.47 g/molM.P.: 170-171°CSolubility in water (% weight): 246.48 g/l at 20CDensity (g/cm3): 1.678Magnesium Sulphate: 49.2%Water: Sodium (Na): Calcium (Ca): Potassium (K): Chloride (Cl): Loss on ignition: 40.0-52%Solublity (Water): Readily soluble in water, slowly soluble in glycerine, and sparingly soluble in alcohol.
