nedMag Magnesium Chloride Flakes are small white ­flakes of magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2.6H2O).  

Safe for people, pets, plants and the environment, nedMag C® deicing flakes melt ice and snow effectively down to -25C. 100%. 

Pure Hexahydrate magnesium chloride (47% MgCl2) is less corrosive to metals and less damaging to concrete than most commonly used de-icing alternatives.

Magnesium chloride flakes are 50% less toxic than common baking soda and leave a clear liquid residue minimizing tracking of product.

Key Benefits:

The product is used in many industries for a wide variety of applications, including:

• Snow and ice removal
• Drilling mud and completion fluids in the oil industry
• Fertilizer mixtures as a source of Mg
• Oxychloride cements such as fire-proof sorel cement wallboard
• Dust control on unpaved roads, parking lots, and mining haul roads.
• Textiles in the dying process
• Tire ballasting of construction tires (for weight)
• Waste water treatment as a catalyst and source of magnesium
