Magnesium Oxide Powder Description
Magnesium oxide powder (chemical formula MgO), commonly known as magnesia, is a white, odorless, fine ionic compound powder, with its natural mineral form being periclase. It is renowned for its exceptional physicochemical properties, including an extremely high melting point (approximately 2852°C), outstanding thermal stability and chemical inertness, good electrical insulation, and basic characteristics. These combined properties make it a versatile key industrial material, primarily used in refractory products (such as furnace linings), construction cementitious materials (magnesia cement), flame-retardant fillers in rubber and plastics, neutralizing agents in wastewater treatment, magnesium nutritional supplements in animal feed, and in high-purity pharmaceutical applications as an antacid to relieve gastric discomfort. Products of different purity and particle size grades (industrial, food, pharmaceutical) are available to meet the specific requirements of various industries, with precautions necessary to avoid inhalation of fine dust.
