Magnesium Oxide Heavy Extra Pure is a high-purity, dense white powder prized for its excellent thermal stability, high melting point, and chemical inertness. It is widely used in laboratory applications as a standard reagent, pH adjuster, and desiccant. In pharmaceuticals, it functions as an antacid and a magnesium supplement, while in industrial processes, it is essential for producing refractory materials, ceramics, and insulating products due to its high heat resistance. The “heavy” form refers to its higher bulk density, making it particularly useful in applications where volume constraints are critical. Its extra pure grade ensures it meets the stringent demands of high-precision research and formulation work.
Magnesium Oxide Heavy Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Acid Neutralization:
- Commonly used as a strong base or neutralizing agent in acid-base titrations and pH adjustment.
- Thermal Analysis Studies:
- Serves as a refractory material in high-temperature calcination or thermal decomposition experiments.
- Precursor in Inorganic Synthesis:
- Acts as a starting material for preparing other magnesium compounds in laboratory reactions.
Secondary Uses
- Standard for Gravimetric Analysis:
- Used to form insoluble precipitates for determining elemental composition via gravimetric methods.
- Material Science Experiments:
- Employed in ceramic and glass formulation studies due to its thermal stability and basicity.
- Absorbent/Desiccant:
- Occasionally used as a moisture absorber in experiments requiring dry conditions.
