Magnesium DihydroxideMg(OH)2 1309-42-8; Flame retardant; Neutralizer; Desulfurizer; Oil additives; Anticorrosion; Insulation
Basic information
Nature
1. Magnesium hydroxide is an odorless, tasteless white crystalline powder.
2. It has a low solubility, basically insoluble in water, but soluble in acidic solutions.
3. Magnesium hydroxide is alkaline and can react with acid to form the corresponding salt.
Purpose
1. Magnesium hydroxide can be used as an active ingredient in medicines to treat diseases such as indigestion and gastritis caused by excessive stomach acid.
2. It is also used as a flame retardant, excellent flame retardant for plastic and rubber products, which can increase the flame retardant performance of the material.
3. Magnesium hydroxide is also commonly used as a neutralizer and stabilizer in cosmetics and personal care products.
4. In terms of environmental protection, as a flue gas desulfurizer, it can replace caustic soda and lime as a neutralizer of acid-containing wastewater
5. Oil additives, play the role of anti-corrosion and desulfurization
6. Can be used in electronics industry, medicine, sugar refining
7. For insulation materials and manufacture of other magnesium salt products
Security
Should be stored in a cool, dry warehouse. Store in isolation from inorganic acids, strong alkalis and deliquescent materials. Protect against rain and moisture during transportation. Handle with care during loading and unloading to prevent damage to the packing. Fire can be put out with water.
Wear personal protective equipment such as protective gloves and goggles during operation
In case of accidental inhalation or contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if necessary
Precautions and Transportation
Transportation precautions: When transported by railway, steel drum packaging can be transported by open cars. The packaging should be complete during transportation and the loading should be secure. During transportation, it is necessary to ensure that the container does not leak, collapse, fall, or be damaged. It is strictly prohibited to mix and transport flammable or combustible materials, acids, edible chemicals, etc. Transport vehicles should be equipped with leak emergency response equipment during transportation.
Storage precautions: Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. The storage temperature should not exceed 37 ° C. It should be stored separately from oxidants and edible chemicals, and mixed storage should be avoided. Keep the container sealed. Stay away from sparks and heat sources. The warehouse must be equipped with lightning protection equipment. The exhaust system should be equipped with a grounding device for conducting and removing static electricity. Adopting explosion-proof lighting and ventilation settings. Prohibit the use of equipment and tools that are prone to generating sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency response equipment for leaks and appropriate containment materials.
