Flame retardant-magnesium hydroxide

The Chinese synonyms for Magnesium hydroxide include caustic magnesite, light burned magnesite, etc. The suspension of magnesium hydroxide in water is called magnesium hydroxide emulsion, abbreviated as magnesium emulsion, and its English name is Magnesium Hydroxide. Magnesium hydroxide is colorless hexagonal column crystal or white powder, insoluble in water and alcohol, soluble in dilute acid and ammonium salt solution, and the aqueous solution is alkaline. It has little solubility in water and is a strong electrolyte. Brucite, a natural mineral of magnesium hydroxide. Can be used for sugar making, magnesium oxide, etc. Because magnesium hydroxide is abundant in nature and its chemical properties are similar to aluminum, users begin to replace aluminum chloride with magnesium hydroxide for fragrance products. Chemical formula Mg(OH)2, formula quantity 58.32. White amorphous powder. Insoluble in water, soluble in dilute acid and ammonium salt solution. The saturated aqueous solution has a concentration of 1.9 mg/L (18.degree. C.) and is alkaline. Heat to 350℃ and lose water to produce magnesium oxide. It is used as an analytical reagent and also in the pharmaceutical industry. Magnesium hydroxide can be obtained by reacting magnesium oxide with water.
