Description
Magnesium hexafluorosilicate hexahydrate is an inorganic salt offered at min. 98 % purity in pure grade, with CAS number 18972-56-0 and empirical formula MgSiF₆ · 6 H₂O. It has a molar mass of 274,47 g/mol and a density of 1,79 g/cm³, supporting laboratory synthesis, analytical preparation and materials work that require a defined magnesium fluorosilicate hydrate. This variant is Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product is further identified by EG number 241-022-2 and UN number 2853, which aids correct classification in laboratory logistics and documentation. Typical uses include specialty formulations, surface-treatment studies and intermediate steps where a controlled fluoride-bearing magnesium source is needed. The pure grade suits routine solution make-up and solid-state experiments without unnecessary additives. Clear labelling of CAS, formula and physical constants helps laboratories select the right reagent among related inorganic salts and maintain consistent experimental conditions.

Questions about Magnesium hexafluorosilicate hexahydrate, min. 98 %, pure, 100 g, plastic
What is this article?
Magnesium hexafluorosilicate hexahydrate, min. 98 %, pure, 100 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Inorganic salts, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
An inorganic salt is an ionic solid, a chloride, a sulfate, a nitrate, a phosphate. The degree of hydration changes the mass that contains one mole of the ion. Analytical grade limits the foreign ions. A hydrate and the anhydrous salt are not interchangeable by weight.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
