Will Demand from Deicing and Chemicals & Derivatives Sectors Remain Chief Growth Driver?

Magnesium chloride is widely accepted as a deicing agent due to its chemical properties. Countries with the colder weather conditions extensively use the ice melters as the heavy snowfall results in the accumulation of ice around homes, buildings and on the highways & runways which causes severe accidents.

Due to its hygroscopic nature it quickly absorbs the moisture from the nature and melts the ice. North American and European countries where the weather conditions are much colder, majorly contribute in the increasing demand of magnesium chloride as a deicing agent.

Magnesium chloride usually applied before the storm so that it works efficiently and melts the ice quickly. Besides this its plays vital role in certain chemical reaction as a catalyst. It supports the main catalyst to increase the activity of the main catalyst. Apart from this it is also utilized as a raw materials for the production of chemicals, alloys and textile processing.
