Application of magnesium hydroxide

Flame retardant
Magnesium hydroxide is an excellent flame retardant for plastic and rubber products. It can be used as a flame retardant or flame retardant filler to add to polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and ABS resins, and has good flame retardancy and smoke suppression effects. It releases bound water during thermal decomposition and absorbs a large amount of latent heat to reduce the surface temperature of the composite material it fills in the flame, which has the effect of inhibiting the decomposition of polymer and cooling the combustible gas generated.
The decomposed magnesium oxide is also a good refractory, which can also help improve the fire resistance of synthetic materials. At the same time, the water vapor it emits can also be used as a smoke suppressant. However, it is necessary to treat the particle surface with anionic surfactant, such as cheap high-class fatty acid alkali metal salt or alkyl sulfate and sulfonated succinate. However, magnesium hydroxide is recognized as an excellent flame retardant with triple functions of flame retardancy, smoke suppression and filling in the rubber and plastic industry.
Industrial manufacturing
Magnesium hydroxide has excellent buffering performance, reactivity, adsorbability, thermal decomposition performance, etc. It can not only be used as chemical materials and intermediates, but also as a green environmental flame retardant and additive in rubber, plastic, fiber, resin and other polymer material industries, and also can be used as an oil additive to prevent corrosion and desulfurization. The product is also used in magnesium salt manufacturing, pharmaceutical industry, daily chemical industry, etc. In addition, it can also be used in electronic industry, medicine, thermal insulation materials and other magnesium salt products.
