DUST SUPRESSANT
Mag Flocons®
Dust Suppressant (Flakes)
ll Product Description
ll Application Rate
Mag Flocons® is a magnesium-chloride-based (47%
concentration) dust suppressant. It strips moisture from
the air, trapping it at ground level (thus keeping surfaces
dust-free).
ll Where to Use It
The product controls dust on:
–– Unpaved surfaces
–– Gravel paths and driveways
–– Bike paths
–– Parking lots
–– Golf course pathways
–– Tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and campgrounds
–– Equestrian centers
–– Gravel road repairs
–– Other similar surfaces
Dust Suppressant
The recommended application quantity is 1.0 kg to 1.5 kg
per m2. Ideally, apply after light rain or spraying the surface. Quantity may vary depending on certain conditions.
Do not apply Mag Flocons on paved surfaces, as they could become
slippery.
ll Available Sizes
The product is available in 20 kg bags.

DE-ICING AGENT
Mag Flocons®
De-Icing Agent (Flakes)
l Product Description
Excessive doses may lead to slippery footpaths. When applied at
the start of precipitation, magnesium chloride is highly effective
in reducing the accumulation of ice and snow.
Mag Flocons® is magnesium-chloride-based (47% concentration). The product releases heat upon contact with snow or ice,
thus speeding up the melting process.
l Available Sizes
l Where to Use it
The product is available in 20 kg and 1,000 kg bags.
The product is used for de-icing
– Asphalt and concrete surfaces (more than one year old)
l Technical Data
Magnesium chloride does not damage asphalt or concrete from a chemical perspective. Snowmelt runoff may seep into porous concrete and
freeze again, the pressure of which may lead to the spalling or shrinkage
of weak concrete.
Magnesium chloride is not recommended for ice removal on concrete surfaces which are less than one year old, on prefabricated concrete steps, on
existing concrete masonry surfaces (stone, bricks, mortar joints) with apparent aggregates, or on prefabricated, pre-stressed, flaky, cracked, crumbling or weather-worn concrete. Magnesium chloride is not recommended
for de-icing wood or metal surfaces. Avoid all contact with leather items.
l Application Rate
For best results, clear snow before spreading. The recommended
application quantity is 0.07 kg to 0.14 kg per m2. Thick ice may
require additional applications. Magnesium chloride flakes are
not a hazardous material – the product is safe and easy to use.
