Manganese chloride (TF), anhydrous manganese(II) chloride, is an inorganic compound primarily used as a precursor in chemical synthesis, a nutrient in plant growth media, and a reagent in analytical chemistry. It is also used in dry-cell battery manufacture, as a catalyst for chlorinating organic compounds, as a drier for paints and linseed oil, and in making corrosion-resistant magnesium alloys. It appears as a pinkish, hygroscopic crystalline solid that dissolves readily in water. This chemical has a CAS number of 7773-01-5, a molecular formula of MnCl₂, and a molecular weight of 125.84 g/mol. It must be stored at ambient conditions, away from moisture, and carries a Danger signal word due to its corrosive and toxic properties. Molekula supplies Manganese chloride (TF) from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
