Where magnesium compounds do the work
The same three compounds behave very differently depending on which property you exploit — alkalinity, thermal decomposition, or surface area. Pick the industry below and we will show you the property that matters there and the grade we ship for it.
Seven industry cards
Flame Retardants
Mg(OH)₂ does not fight fire with chemistry that produces toxic gas. It gets hot, decomposes endothermically, releases water vapour and leaves a magnes…
Read moreRubber & Elastomers
In a rubber compound MgO is a vulcanising agent and vulcanisation activator. It is not an accelerator, and it is not a filler. Confusing the three is …
Read moreCeramics & Electronics
In a ceramic body MgO is small in the recipe and large in the result. It controls sintering and grain growth, and in soft magnetic ferrite it sits at …
Read moreFood & Pharmaceutical
All three of our compounds are supplied in food and pharmaceutical grades. The chemistry is the same as the industrial grade; what changes is handling…
Read moreWater & Flue-Gas Treatment
MgO is a mild alkali. That mildness is the point: it neutralises acid without the handling hazard of caustic soda and without the secondary pollution …

Two jobs, two compounds. Mg(OH)₂ carries flame retardancy into the pack without halogen. MgO carries thermal conductivity and electrical insulation in…
