Magnesium hydroxide CAS#1309-42-8

Basic Information

Magnesium hydroxide

Magnesium hydroxide is a sparingly soluble inorganic hydroxide that forms stable aqueous suspensions. It decomposes endothermically on heating, releasing water and magnesia, which gives it useful heat-absorption and smoke-suppression behavior. It is incorporated into flame-retardant plastics, rubber and coatings, and used for flue-gas desulfurization and acidic wastewater treatment. Other applications include fuel additives, magnesium-salt manufacture, food processing and pharmaceutical formulations.

product description

Long-Lasting Antacid & Laxative Action:Reacts slowly with stomach acid and retains water in the intestine, providing sustained relief from acidity and constipation.


Effective Flame Retardant & Smoke Suppressant:Decomposes endothermically at 332 °C, releasing water and magnesia to reduce heat and suppress smoke in fire-resistant applications.


Versatile Industrial Applications:Widely used in wastewater treatment, fuel additives, and as a raw material for producing various magnesium salts.


Stable Aqueous Suspension:Forms a uniform suspension in water with controlled solubility, ensuring reliable performance in pharmaceutical and industrial formulations.



Product Description of ‌Magnesium hydroxide CAS#1309-42-8

As the main component of Milk of Magnesia, magnesium hydroxide acts as a long-acting antacid and laxative. It also functions as an effective flame retardant and smoke suppressant, decomposing endothermically at 332 °C. Additionally, it is applied in wastewater treatment, fuel additives, and magnesium salt manufacturing.


Product Application of Magnesium hydroxide CAS#1309-42-8

Magnesium hydroxide is a high-performance flame retardant for plastics, rubber and coatings. It is widely used in flue gas desulfurization and acidic wastewater treatment as a replacement for caustic soda and lime. It also serves pharmaceuticals, food processing, electronics and chemical raw material production. Owing to its higher decomposition temperature, it is ideal for high-temperature processing of common polymers and flame-retardant paints.
