Request SDS →Manganese(II) chloride (CAS 7773-01-5, MnCl2) is a soluble manganese salt. Documented uses include textile dyeing, disinfecting and purifying natural gas, manufacture of linseed-oil driers and dry-cell batteries, and use as a manganese nutrient supplement.
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.
