Magnesium Hydroxide (CAS NO : 1309-42-8)

Magnesium Hydroxide is a versatile inorganic compound utilised across three distinct high-value sectors: as a safe non-halogenated flame retardant, a high-purity industrial filler, and a globally recognised pharmaceutical active (API). Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) - Endothermic decomposition, a high-purity mineral compound serving as a critical bridge between advanced material science and clinical pharmacology. In the industrial sector, high-performance grades like NikoMag A5 are globally recognised for their hexagonal morphology and superior thermal stability, acting as non-halogenated, eco-friendly flame retardants (HFFR) and smoke suppressants for polymers such as PA, PP, and EVA. Mg(OH)₂'s flame-retardant efficacy is derived from endothermic decomposition at approximately 330°C, which releases water vapor to cool the substrate and forms a protective magnesium oxide (MgO) char layer. Simultaneously, for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, H2MgO2 produced under IP, BP, and USP standards functions as a reliable antacid and osmotic laxative; it neutralises gastric hydrochloric acid to relieve heartburn and facilitates intestinal hydration to treat constipation. By integrating high chemical purity (≥ 99.8%), non-toxicity, and strict adherence to global regulatory standards, this multifunctional agent provides a sustainable and safe solution for applications ranging from high-tension cable insulation to essential oral healthcare. We are a globally established magnesium hydroxide supplier, worldwide, through comprehensive regulatory documentation (CoA), traceability, and consistent global supply capabilities, ensuring reliable lead times and quality assurance across all grades.

Chemical Properties & Specifications

Applications of Magnesium Hydroxide

Industrial: Flame Retardancy (NikoMag A5)

Thermal Stability: Withstands temperatures up to 330°C, outperforming Aluminium Trihydrate (ATH) and allowing for the processing of high-temperature engineering plastics

Smoke Suppression: As it decomposes, it reduces the smoke density of burning polymers, a critical safety requirement for public transport and construction materials

Polymer Compatibility: Hexagonal crystal structure of the A5 grade ensures excellent dispersion in PP, PE, and EVA matrices.

Pharmaceutical: API & Excipient (IP/BP/USP)

Antacid Action: Neutralizes gastric acid to form magnesium chloride and water, providing rapid relief from hyperacidity without systemic alkalosis

Osmotic Laxative: At higher doses, it remains unabsorbed in the bowel, drawing water in through osmosis to soften stools

Mineral Supplementation: Used as a safe source of magnesium in dietary supplements.

Specialized Nutrition & Cosmetics

Food Additive (E528): Acts as an acidity regulator and color stabilizer in processed foods

Personal Care: Used in deodorants (as an odor absorber) and mineral makeup for its oil- absorbing properties
