Further information
If this magnesium chloride salt is dissolved in water, handle the insoluble residue as a pyrophoric material, which is especially hazardous when moist, i.e. 5-20% water. Moist residue can ignite with explosive force. Do not accumulate any quantity of this residue. When mixed with water, heat, steam, and possibly hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide gas may be generated. Do not mix magnesium chloride with water except in a well-ventilated area, under conditions where heat and any gas that may evolve can easily dissipate.
