Recommendations of use

Chemical industry uses this salt as a versatile raw material for the production of other magnesium compounds. Epsom salt is used as a coagulant in ABS-/ EPS-production via emulsion polymerisation. In rayon production it is used as an ingredient in spinning baths.

Epsom salt is applied as a stabilising agent for bleaching products such as peroxides and perborates, which are commonly used in detergents. In liquid detergents i.e. dishwashing agents, the product is used for adjusting viscosity. In cellulose production, epsom salt is used to increase selectivity in oxygen delignification, as well as in peroxide and oxygen supported bleaching stages. Magnesium sulphate raises cellulose quality and helps to save process chemicals. Epsom salt is used as a processing aid in leather production. The addition of epsom salt results in more supple leather, promotes bonding of the tanning agents with the skin substance and raises the leather’s weight.
