Stopped in at the local True Value Hardware ( http://newbedford.citysearch.com/profile/4831650 ) today and noticed a pallet of ice melt ... Sodium Chloride..No Good.
So I figured I would inquire into the possibility of them purchasing a pallet of Magnesium. He then looked into his distributors and informed me that he is able to order a product called Ultra Mag from a distributor called North East Salt Products ( http://www.nasalt.com/index.htm ).
The manager stated that it wouldnt be a problem to order it either by the bag or by the pallet. Price per bag (50lb) he stated is 18.00 dollars a bag. He also stated that there would be an extra 10% off if a pallet were to be ordered and a pallet contains 49 Bags this would bring the price down to 16.20 per bag.
Unfortunately When I went to their website they label the bags differently. The call them Dustgard or Freezegard ( http://www.nasalt.com/products/magchloride/liquid.htm ) so im in the process of determining which product is appropriate for our application.
I managed to come across a link on their site that did state that they have a grade suitable for aquaculture ( http://www.nasalt.com/msds/Magnesium%20Chloride%20(solid).pdf ).
On their safety data sheet it does state that their distributor is a company called Great Salt Lakes Minerals Corporation ( http://www.gslminerals.com/index.htm ) out of Overland Park, KS and their supplier is Compass Minerals International ( www.compassminerals.com ) with the same address. I went to both of their sites but not much more luck then being reffered back North American Salt.
Reason for this thread was i figured if I determine what bag they put their Magnesium in then it maybe as simple as going to the local true value giving him a product number and ordering a couple bags for 18.00 per bag. Still an incredible savings!
