What is the use of magnesium hydroxide

1. Magnesium hydroxide is an excellent flame retardant for plastic and rubber products. As a flue gas desulfurization agent in terms of environmental protection, it can replace caustic soda and lime as a neutralizer for acidic wastewater.


2. Magnesium hydroxide has excellent buffering performance, reaction activity, adsorption capacity, and thermal decomposition performance. It can be used as a chemical material and intermediate, as well as a green and environmentally friendly flame retardant and additive in the polymer material industry such as rubber, plastic, fiber, and resin.


3. This product can be used as a flame retardant or flame retardant filler to be added to polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and ABS resins, with good flame retardancy and smoke suppression effects. The addition amount is 40-20 parts.


4. Magnesium hydroxide is a new type of filled flame retardant that releases bound water during thermal decomposition, absorbs a large amount of latent heat, and lowers the surface temperature of the composite material it fills in the flame. It has the function of inhibiting polymer decomposition and cooling the generated combustible gas.


5. This product is also used in the manufacturing of magnesium salts, refining of sugar, pharmaceutical industry, daily chemical industry, etc. At the same time, the water vapor it emits can also serve as a smoke suppressant. Magnesium hydroxide is an excellent flame retardant in the rubber and plastic industry with three functions: flame retardancy, smoke suppression, and filling.


6. Emulsion suspension of magnesium hydroxide is used as antacid and laxative in medicine.
