Magnesium oxide

Magnesium oxide, burnt magnesia, magnesium oxide, magnesium oxide – all these are common names of the same product, which is so often used in various industries. The product is obtained by grinding and firing the primary magnesium-containing rock-the mineral magnesite.

Chemical formula: MgO.

What is the reason for the wide interest and demand for Magnesium Oxide?

Thanks to its exceptional properties, Magnesium oxide has earned recognition and is widely used in various industries.

Basic properties of magic oxide:

• magnesium oxide is not soluble in water;
• magnesium oxide, like a sponge, absorbs water – that is, it is hygroscopic.
• magnesium oxide, reacting with acid solutions, forms salts-it is widely used in the chemical industry;
• magnesium oxide is not soluble in alcohol;
• magnesium oxide is fire-and explosion-proof, non-flammable,
• The melting point of magnesium oxide is 2825 degrees Celsius.
• The boiling point of magnesium oxide is 3600 degrees Celsius.
• The reflection coefficient of Magnesium oxide is equal to one, so Magnesium oxide can serve as an absolute reflector.

Applications of Magnesium Oxide:

• Production of refractory materials
• Production of dry building mixes and other building materials
• Production of special adhesive and heat-resistant coatings
• Filler in the rubber industry, in the production of rubber, plastic, polymers
• Ultra-fine abrasive
• Electronic industry
• Manufacture of transformer steel
• Production of glass and ceramics with special compositions
• Mechanical engineering
• Production of certain grades of cement
• Oil refining industry: special mixtures for cementing and plugging wells, and means for leveling and maintaining the acid-base balance, as well as for cleaning some petroleum products, as well as eliminating oil spills
• In ecology: in the disposal and processing of radioactive waste
• Agriculture: production of fertilizers and feed additives in animal husbandry
• As an anti-tracking agent.
• Food industry: as a dietary supplement.

In its production, our company is based on the requirements of GOST 4526-75, GOST 844-79, as well as the technical conditions and requirements of the customer.

The fact is that, depending on the purposes and tasks performed by magnesium oxide, a more or less purified material is used – with a higher or lower content of the main active substance, as well as different powder fractions from 10 to 1000 micrometers.
