Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (CAS 10034-99-8), commonly recognized as industrial-grade Epsom Salt, is a water-soluble inorganic compound utilized primarily as a magnesium and sulfur micronutrient in agricultural fertilizers and as a conditioning agent in textile processing. This crystalline Magnesium sulphate 7-hydrate functions to correct mineral deficiencies in soil and livestock feed, while serving as a weighting agent and dyeing auxiliary in fabric manufacturing. Unlike the anhydrous form, this Magnesium sulfate 7H2O possesses high solubility and neutral pH stability, making it a critical Bitter salt component for bath salt formulations and wastewater treatment coagulants. We provide this inorganic raw material with competitive factory pricing to support agricultural and industrial blending operations and ensure bulk supply availability for high-volume orders. Our facility accommodates customized specifications for crystal size (0.1-3mm) and purity grades, while every shipment is fully documented with MSDS, TDS, COA files to meet quality and safety regulations.

Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse.
- Keep bags tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
- Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature and exposure to rain.
- Do not store together with strong acids or substances that may be affected by moisture.
- Use pallets and avoid direct contact of bags with the floor to maintain product quality.
Safety Precautions
Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is generally considered to have low acute toxicity, but standard industrial hygiene practices should always be followed:
- Avoid inhalation of dust; use local exhaust ventilation where dust may be generated.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, dust mask/respirator and safety goggles.
- Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin and eyes.
- In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for several minutes and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
- In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water.
- If large amounts are accidentally ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention.
- Keep out of reach of children and non-trained personnel.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
How does CAS 10034-99-8 distinguish the Heptahydrate form from other Magnesium Sulfates?
A: CAS 10034-99-8 specifically identifies the heptahydrate crystal structure (MgSO₄·7H₂O), which contains approximately 49% water of crystallization, chemically distinguishing it from the Anhydrous (CAS 7487-88-9) or Monohydrate forms. -
Q:
Is this grade suitable for liquid fertilizer blending?
A: Yes, this material is highly water-soluble and is typically applied in the formulation of liquid foliar fertilizers and hydroponic nutrient solutions to provide immediately available magnesium and sulfur.
