The largest industrial application of Mg(OH)2 is flame retardants for articles such as roofing, isolation materials, plastic articles and coatings.
The mechanism of flame retardancy is based on the endothermic decomposition of the material into MgO and H2O.
This reaction adsorbs heat, which delays ignition of the associated substance.
The water that is released dilutes combustible gases and inhibits oxygen from aiding the combustion.
Other known applications of Mg(OH)2 include food additives, where the material is used as acidity regulator, and as precursor for other magnesium materials, most notably MgO.Magnesium Hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Mg(OH)2.Brucite is used as a flame retardant because it thermally decomposes in a similar way
as aluminium hydroxide and mixtures of huntite and hydromagnesite, to release water.
The superior properties of the synthetic form of Mg(OH)2, in terms of purity and particle size distribution,has opened up far more applications.
Our Magnesium Hydroxide is used as flame or fire retardant filler with various applications in
Thermoplastics, Electronics & Electrical devices, Wires & cables, Building & construction material in composite panels,
roofing components, insulation materials, Transportation airlines, trains & automobiles.
