Application of Magnesium Hydroxide

  1. Antacid: Magnesium Hydroxide is widely used in over-the-counter medications as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid, providing relief from indigestion and heartburn.
  2. Laxative: It acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the intestines to promote bowel movements, making it effective for short-term relief of constipation.
  3. Flame Retardant: In industrial applications, Magnesium Hydroxide is used as a flame retardant in plastics and rubber, where it decomposes endothermically to release water, reducing flammability.
  4. Water Treatment: It serves as a neutralizing agent in wastewater treatment, helping to adjust pH levels and precipitate heavy metals, thus improving water quality.
  5. Corrosion Inhibitor: Magnesium Hydroxide is used in various formulations to prevent corrosion in metal surfaces, extending the lifespan of industrial equipment.
