Magnesium Hydroxide 99% is a versatile chemical compound widely used in various industries. With the chemical formula Mg(OH)2, it appears as a white powder and does not dissolve easily in water.
In manufacturing, magnesium hydroxide finds application as a flame retardant, providing fire resistance to plastic and rubber products. Its ability to release water vapor when exposed to heat helps inhibit the spread of flames.
In wastewater treatment processes, magnesium hydroxide acts as a flocculant, aiding in the removal of impurities and neutralizing acidity. This contributes to the purification of water and supports environmental sustainability.
Furthermore, magnesium hydroxide is an essential ingredient in the production of other magnesium compounds. These compounds have diverse industrial uses, including applications in agriculture, ceramics, and construction.
