Magnesium Acetate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Magnesium Diacetate
- Acetic Acid Magnesium Salt
- Mg(CH3COO)2
Magnesium acetate supplier for textile, food, laboratory and process buyers in Malaysia. Also written Mg(CH3COO)2 and known as magnesium diacetate, it is the freely water-soluble magnesium salt of acetic acid. The tetrahydrate is the form normally traded.
Commercial material is usually magnesium acetate tetrahydrate as white hygroscopic crystals, with anhydrous grades available where water of crystallisation must be excluded. Grades run technical, food and laboratory or reagent quality. State the form and purity level required with the enquiry.
Typical duties include textile mordanting and printing auxiliaries, buffer and reagent preparation, magnesium supply in food and nutritional formulation, catalyst and polymer processing, and personal-care development work. The acetate anion is the point of difference from the magnesium sulphate, chloride, carbonate, oxide and nitrate salts, each of which is quoted on its own page.
Send the required form or grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Magnesium Acetate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate | white crystalline solid | — | The form normally traded. Dissolved on site for textile mordanting, buffer make-up and general process work where a soluble magnesium acetate is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Anhydrous magnesium acetate | hygroscopic crystalline powder | — | Selected where water of crystallisation must be excluded, such as catalyst preparation, polymer processing and non-aqueous formulation. State the moisture limit with the enquiry. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Food grade magnesium acetate | crystalline solid | — | Magnesium source and acidity regulator duty in food and nutritional formulation. Send the standard the specification must meet and the documentation the plant needs. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Laboratory and reagent grade magnesium acetate | high-purity crystals | — | Buffer preparation, analytical reagents, electrophoresis work and small-scale synthesis where tighter impurity control is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Magnesium Acetate applications
Safety and handling
Keep containers sealed in a cool, dry place. The material is hygroscopic and will pick up moisture and cake if left open. Follow the safety information issued for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about magnesium acetate
Which magnesium acetate form is normally supplied?
The tetrahydrate is the usual commercial form and is supplied as white crystals that dissolve readily in water. Anhydrous material is available where water of crystallisation would interfere. State which form the process needs when enquiring.
Is magnesium acetate the same as magnesium sulphate or magnesium chloride?
No. These are different products that share the magnesium cation but carry different anions, so their solubility, pH behaviour and process roles differ. Magnesium sulphate, chloride, carbonate, oxide and nitrate are quoted on their own pages.
What grades of magnesium acetate can be quoted?
Technical or industrial grades cover textile, process and general manufacturing duty. Food grade material is used as a magnesium source in food and nutritional work, and laboratory or reagent grade suits buffers and analytical chemistry.
How should magnesium acetate be stored and handled?
Store sealed, cool and dry. The salt is hygroscopic, so open bags or partly used containers absorb moisture and can cake, which affects dissolution and weighing accuracy. Follow the safety information supplied with the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a magnesium acetate price enquiry?
Provide the form, grade, assay or purity target, quantity and delivery location. Mention the application, preferred pack format and any documentation the plant requires so the quotation covers the whole requirement.
Can documentation and pack format be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the documents and pack format the site needs in the enquiry. Available documentation and packing are confirmed for the quoted magnesium acetate grade rather than fixed in advance.
