Magnesium Oxide
We are manufacturing Magnesium Oxide in Technical, Pure & LR Grade.
These Products are available in 50 kgs Bag/Drum.
Magnesium oxide (MgO), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide). It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg2+ ions and O2− ions held together by ionic bonding. Magnesium hydroxide forms in the presence of water (MgO + H2O → Mg (OH)2), but it can be reversed by heating it to separate moisture.
CAS No. 1309-48-4
