Product Description of ‌Magnesium hydroxide CAS#1309-42-8

As the main component of Milk of Magnesia, magnesium hydroxide acts as a long-acting antacid and laxative. It also functions as an effective flame retardant and smoke suppressant, decomposing endothermically at 332 °C. Additionally, it is applied in wastewater treatment, fuel additives, and magnesium salt manufacturing.

Product Application of Magnesium hydroxide CAS#1309-42-8

Magnesium hydroxide is a high-performance flame retardant for plastics, rubber and coatings. It is widely used in flue gas desulfurization and acidic wastewater treatment as a replacement for caustic soda and lime. It also serves pharmaceuticals, food processing, electronics and chemical raw material production. Owing to its higher decomposition temperature, it is ideal for high-temperature processing of common polymers and flame-retardant paints.
