DESCRIPTION

Magnesium Ammonium Potassium Chloride, Hydrate occurs as a white co-crystalline triple salt (solid) containing 24 waters of hydration for each unit of the magnesium/potassium/ammonium chloride complex. The method of manufacture involves dissolving stoichiometric amounts of the individual magnesium, potassium, and ammonium chloride salts in water, boiling the solution and removing the vapor formed, then cooling the mixture, crystallizing, filtering or centrifuging, drying and sieving the product. Magnesium Ammonium Potassium Chloride, Hydrate is freely soluble in water and remains dry in air at relative humidity below 70%, but may become deliquescent at higher humidity. It may contain suitable food-grade anticaking or free-flowing agents, such as silicon dioxide (SiO₂) or calcium silicate (Ca₂SiO₄). Magnesium Ammonium Potassium Chloride, Hydrate containing water insoluble anticaking or free-flowing agents may produce cloudy solutions and dissolve incompletely.
