    Melting Point1124 °C
    Boiling Point330 °C at 760 mmHg (anhydrous form)
    pHNeutral to litmus in solution (hydrated forms have a pH of 6.0, ranging from 5.5 to 6.5)
    Refractive Index1.56 (anhydrous form)
    StabilityStable under normal conditions; may decompose upon heating or prolonged exposure to light
    Storage ConditionStore in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture; sealed for long-term storage


    Application Areas

    In the pharmaceutical field, it is used to treat gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and eclampsia, lower blood pressure, and control seizures. As an anticonvulsant, it alleviates symptoms by inhibiting neuromuscular conduction.
    In the agricultural field, magnesium is used as a fertilizer to supplement magnesium and promote plant growth

    Storage conditions

    Dry and sealed: Easy to absorb moisture (especially heptahydrate), it should be stored in a dry place and sealed container.
    Avoid direct sunlight and maintain good ventilation.
    Temperature control: Store at room temperature and avoid high temperatures (heptahydrate may lose water at high temperatures).
    Keep away from incompatible substances: store separately from strong acids and oxidants

    Safety precautions

    Personal protection: Wear gloves, masks, and goggles when in contact with powder to avoid inhalation or contact with skin/eyes.
    Medical usage precautions: Intravenous injection should strictly control the dosage, as too fast may lead to hypotension and respiratory depression. Use with caution in patients with renal insufficiency (reduced magnesium excretion can easily lead to poisoning).
    Firefighting measures: Non flammable, but high-temperature decomposition may release toxic sulfur oxides. Firefighters need to wear self-contained breathing apparatus

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      Does CAS 7487-88-9 correspond specifically to anhydrous magnesium sulfate?

      A: Yes. CAS 7487-88-9 is assigned specifically to the anhydrous form of magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄).
    • Q:
