Product Name: Magnesium Oxide
CAS NO: 1309-48-4
Molecular Formula: MgO
M olecular weight: 40.30
Apperence : White amorphous powder, non-toxic, odorless, odorless
Relative density about: 3.58 (25°C)
Melting point: 2852°C
Boiling point: 3600°C
Properties : Hard to dissolve in water, insoluble in alcohol, soluble in acid or ammonium salt solution. After burning above 1000°C, it can be transformed into crystals. When the temperature rises above 1500°C, magnesium oxide or sintered magnesium oxide is killed. Carbon dioxide in the air generates basic magnesium carbonate.
Uses: This product is used as a vulcanizing agent for chloroprene rubber. It can also be used as a vulcanization accelerator and active agent for chloroprene rubber and fluororubber. It is also a catalyst for the synthesis of polyphenylene ether, a binder, a filler for paint and paper, and a raw material for ceramics, enamels, and firebricks. Also used in medicine, dyes, glass and other industries.
