LIGHT MAGNESIUM OXIDE

LIGHT MAGNESIUM OXIDE

Compared to heavy magnesium oxide, light magnesium oxide has a lower density and a smaller particle size, making it easier to handle and disperse. It also has a lower melting point of 2,800 °C, which makes it suitable for use in lower-temperature applications.

Technical Specifications:

  • In the pharmaceutical industry, light magnesium oxide is used as an antacid and as a supplement to treat magnesium deficiency. 
  • It is also used as a dietary supplement for livestock to provide them with magnesium.
  • Light magnesium oxide is a white powder that is primarily composed of magnesium and oxygen, with the chemical formula MgO and a molecular weight of 40.31 g/mol. 
  • It is produced by calcining natural magnesite or seawater magnesia.
  • Light magnesium oxide has a wide range of applications in various industries, including as a filler in the production of plastics, rubber, and other materials. 
  • It is also used in the production of refractory materials, ceramics, and glass. 
  • Additionally, it is used as an insulating material in electrical and electronic applications due to its excellent electrical insulation properties.
