  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE (Cl2Mg) is an inorganic compound with an average molecular weight of 95.21 g/mol. MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE belongs to the alkaline earth metal chlorides, a subclass of alkaline earth metal salts within the inorganic compounds. In industrial applications, it serves as a viscosity modifier, stabilizing agent, preservative, additive, dye, fragrance, flavouring and nutrient, and as processing aids not otherwise specified (PMC12376922).

The compound is used in plastics, specifically in Polypropylene, Polyamide, Polyethylene Terephthalate, and High-Density Polyethylene. It is found in or released from 29 recorded sources. These include building and construction materials such as roofs, floors, ceilings, and fencing; household cleaning and consumer products including soap dispensers, ash trays, pipe accessories, other smoking requisites, and non electric simulated smoking devices; and healthcare, pharmaceuticals and veterinary products, specifically minerals and IV solution additives. Additionally, it is associated with food, food processing and cookware, including the preparation of wine or sparkling wine, preparation of wort, preparation of vinegar, molasses and treatment of molasses, and cellar tools. It is also found in electrical and electronic equipment, such as antennas, adjustable resistors, auxiliary devices, communication cables or conductors, and cores yokes or armatures. Recorded exposure routes for this compound include oral, buccal, rectal, topical, ophthalmic, intraocular, intravenous, intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, irrigation, and hemodialysis.</description>
