Magnesium hydroxide is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mg(OH)₂. It occurs in nature as the mineral brucite. It is a white solid with low solubility in water. Magnesium hydroxide is a common component of antacids, such as milk of magnesia, as well as laxatives.
VIMATERIAL offers high-quality magnesium hydroxide powder. Custom sizes are available upon request. We also provide a complete after-sales service system to ensure that you receive all-round support during use. Contact us for more information.

Q1: Is magnesium hydroxide toxic to humans?
A: Magnesium hydroxide is generally considered to be non-toxic and safe when used appropriately in food, medicine, and environmental applications. However, excessive intake as an antacid may lead to diarrhea or electrolyte imbalances.
When handling magnesium hydroxide in its powder form, it’s important to avoid inhaling the dust, as it could irritate the respiratory system. The compound should be kept away from moisture to prevent clumping or degradation.
Q2: What is magnesium hydroxide used for?
A: Our magnesium hydroxide is mainly used as a catalyst and flame retardant.
As a catalyst or catalyst support, it helps improve the efficiency and stability of certain chemical reactions.
As a flame retardant, magnesium hydroxide decomposes at high temperatures and releases water vapor, which cools the material and dilutes flammable gases, thereby reducing the risk of fire.
It is also considered an environmentally friendly and non-toxic additive for various industrial materials.
