Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is a compound of magnesium and chloride, which contains six molecules of water of crystallization. This compound is soluble in water, absorbs large amounts of heat when dissolved, and releases water during heating. These characteristics make it have potential application value in fire protection.
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is able to release water of crystallization when heated, thus absorbing heat and lowering the temperature of the surrounding environment. This property makes Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate ideal for the production of fireproof materials such as fireproof boards, fireproof doors and fireproof cloth. These materials can effectively stop the spread of fire in the event of a fire.
Applications in fireproof material:
1.As a binding agent for refractory materials
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate can react with magnesium oxide and water to form crystalline phases with high refractory properties. These crystalline phases can significantly enhance the strength and stability of refractory materials.In magnesium refractory castables, Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate as a binding agent, combined with magnesium oxide, can significantly improve the material's room temperature compressive strength and hydration resistance.
2.Fireproof and flame retardant performance
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate can decompose and release chlorine gas at high temperature, and the chlorine gas has the function of fire extinguishing and flame retardant. This property makes Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate an important component in fireproof materials.
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is also used in fireproof coatings, fireproof boards and other building materials, which can significantly improve the fireproof performance of these materials.
3.Preparation of high-performance refractory materials
Through a specific process, Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate can be converted into high-purity magnesium oxide, which can then be used to prepare high-performance refractory materials.
4.Modified Refractories
In recent years, it has been found that by modifying Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate hydrate it is possible to prepare refractory binders with improved properties. For example, modified binders synthesized with ethanol and Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate as precursors can significantly improve the
compressive strength and hydration properties of refractories.
In general, Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is an inorganic salt compound with unique chemical and physical properties. In the field of fire protection, Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate can be used as a fireproof material and an additive to fire extinguishing agents, utilizing its heat absorption and water release properties to control the fire. Compared with traditional fire extinguishing agents, Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is more environmentally friendly and less harmful to humans. However, its ability to extinguish fires is limited, and it is usually used as an auxiliary material and requires
attention to hygroscopicity when stored and handled. With the progress of science and technology, the application of Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate in the field of fire fighting is expected to be further developed and optimized, contributing more power to public safety.
