Magnesium oxide granules are a form of MgO produced in small, solid granule or pellet shapes. This granulated form is highly versatile and used widely in industrial, agricultural, and environmental applications due to its excellent thermal stability, basicity, and ability to neutralize acidity. Granules are often preferred over powders in applications requiring controlled, slow-release properties or where dust generation needs to be minimized.

Agriculture and Animal Feed: Magnesium oxide granules are a significant source of magnesium for crops and livestock. They are used to correct magnesium deficiencies in soils (as a slow-release fertilizer) and as a mineral supplement in animal feed, improving bone health and productivity in livestock.
Environmental Treatment: Magnesium oxide granules neutralize acidic waters and soils, making them suitable for water treatment, soil pH adjustment, and wastewater neutralization. Their granulated form allows for slow and controlled dissolution, which is advantageous in these applications.
Refractory Materials: Due to their thermal stability, Magnesium oxide granules are used in refractory linings for kilns, furnaces, and high-temperature processing equipment in industries like steelmaking and glass production.
Fuel Additives and Catalysts: Magnesium oxide granules are also used in catalytic processes and as a stabilizing additive in fuel, helping to absorb impurities and reduce sulfur content.
Construction: MgO is used in certain construction materials, like fireproofing products and boards. Granules are often included in these mixtures to provide fire resistance and reduce material density.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
