What are the applications of high-purity magnesium hydroxide?

High-purity magnesium hydroxide is generally used in flame retardants, wastewater treatment, flue gas desulfurization, fertilizers, etc., and can also be widely applied in industries such as chemical engineering, metallurgy, building materials, home appliances, plastics, rubber, electronics, ceramics, as well as medicine and food.

Among them, the flame retardant industry has a relatively large demand. In the absorbing material industry, because high-purity magnesium oxide has high activity and high dispersibility, it can be easily compounded with polymers or other materials. This composite material has good microwave absorption performance without reducing the strength, toughness and other indicators of raw materials. Moreover, adding fibrous magnesium oxide also has a reinforcing effect.

High-purity magnesium hydroxide has a very special role:

Antacid and osmotic laxative.

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

Magnesium hydroxide is a new type of filling flame retardant. By releasing bound water when heated and decomposing and absorbing a large amount of latent heat, it can reduce the surface temperature of the synthetic material it fills in the flame. It has the effect of inhibiting the decomposition of polymers and cooling the generated combustible gas.

It can be used as a flame retardant or flame retardant filler and added to polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and ABS resin, with good flame retardant and smoke suppression effects.
