Frequently Asked Questions
What is manganese chloride used for?
Manganese(II) chloride (CAS 7773-01-5, MnCl2) is a soluble manganese salt used as a processing salt in textile dyeing and printing, a precursor for linseed-oil and paint driers, a raw material in dry-cell battery manufacture, an agent in natural-gas purification, and a manganese micronutrient source. RawSource supplies it in bulk.
What is manganese chloride also known as?
Manganese chloride is also called manganese(II) chloride, manganous chloride, and dichloromanganese; CAS 7773-01-5, formula MnCl2. It is commonly traded as the tetrahydrate (MnCl2·4H2O) as well as the anhydrous form — specify which hydration state you need when requesting a quote.
Does MnCl3 exist?
Manganese(III) chloride (MnCl3) is highly unstable and is not a standard commercial product. The stable, commercially supplied manganese chloride is manganese(II) chloride, MnCl2 (CAS 7773-01-5), which is what RawSource distributes.
Is manganese chloride water soluble?
Yes. Manganese(II) chloride is highly water soluble, which is why it functions as a processing salt in textile dyeing and as a soluble manganese source. The salt is also hygroscopic; see the SDS for storage and handling of the powder or crystals.
Can I buy manganese chloride in bulk and what is the price?
RawSource supplies manganese chloride in bulk packaging — bags, drums, and supersacks — to manufacturers. Pricing depends on volume, grade, hydration form, and delivery point, so we quote per order. Request a bulk quote and we will return current pricing with a CoA and SDS.
What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of Manganese Chloride (Manganese(II) Chloride)?
Manganese Chloride (Manganese(II) Chloride) (CAS 7773-01-5) is subject to U.S. TSCA Inventory requirements; supplying it into the EU requires valid REACH registration ((EC) No 1907/2006). RawSource cannot verify a third-party supplier's registrations — buyers should require documented TSCA and REACH compliance for their jurisdiction and volume (EC 231-869-6).
What is the molecular weight of Manganese Chloride?
The molecular weight of Manganese Chloride is 125.84 g/mol (PubChem).
What is the molecular formula of Manganese Chloride?
The molecular formula of Manganese Chloride is Cl2Mn.
What is the CAS number of Manganese Chloride?
The CAS number of Manganese Chloride is 7773-01-5.
