What is Magnesium nitrate?
Magnesium nitrate (CAS 10377-60-3), also known commercially as Magniosan, is an inorganic salt supplying both magnesium and nitrate ions in a single, highly soluble compound.
Where is Magnesium nitrate used?
- Agriculture: nutrient source in liquid fertilizer blends and foliar sprays, correcting soil deficiencies and supporting crop yield
- Water treatment: pH buffering agent and process additive for controlled alkalinity without chloride or sulfate ions
- Textile and leather processing: fixative and auxiliary chemical during dyeing and tanning
- Paper manufacturing: process aid for controlled ionic balance during pulp treatment
- It also serves as a process chemical in industrial manufacturing.
Commercial specifications
- Technical grade standard for industrial use; fertilizer grade meeting nutrient content specifications for agriculture
- Packaging from bulk quantities to bagged formats
