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) for all three industrial technical, flame-retardant and pharmaceutical grades.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Not classified as hazardous under GHS
Not in particular
P261, P280, P305+P351+P338
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.
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.
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
15°C – 25°C, Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Keep away from acids and incompatible materials.
Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
Available in 25 kg bags, 500 kg big bags, or customized packaging upon request.
Primarily used as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant in polymers, as an antacid and laxative in pharmaceutical formulations, and as lubricating oil additives, catalysts, industrial cleaning agents, pigments, cosmetics in industrial applications.
Yes, due to its high purity, it is suitable for use in antacids and laxatives in the pharmaceutical industry.
Magnesium Hydroxide decomposes endothermically when exposed to high temperatures, releasing water that helps suppress flames by cooling the material and diluting flammable gases.
Industries that commonly use it include plastics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, cosmetics, and environmental remediation.
Yes, it is approved for use as a food additive (E528) and functions as a color stabilizer and acidity regulator.
Yes, Magnesium Hydroxide is considered environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and safe for various applications.
NikoMag A5 features a highly uniform hexagonal crystal shape and exceptional purity (≥ 99.8%), which minimizes the impact on the mechanical properties of the polymer while providing maximum flame retardancy.
Yes, due to its high purity, it can be used industrially, but technical grades like NikoMag A5 are usually optimized for specific particle sizes and surface treatments required for polymer dispersion.
Magnesium Hydroxide is a "base" that reacts directly with acid (M g(OH)2). Magnesium Oxide is the "anhydrous" form (M gO) which must first hydrate in the stomach to become active.
Yes, it complies with REACH, FDA (GRAS for specific uses), ISO manufacturing standards, and RoHS regulations.
