What is light burned magnesia and uses

Light Burned Magnesia, also known as active magnesia or caustic magnesia, is Magnesium Oxide formed by calcining magnesium compounds from magnesite at 700-900°C.

Light burned magnesium oxide is an important raw material for the preparation of high functional fine inorganic materials, electronic components, inks and harmful gas adsorbents.It is expected to be developed as cutting-edge materials under high temperature, high corrosion and other harsh conditions, and also as fillers for paints, paper and cosmetics, fillers and reinforcers for plastics and rubber, and auxiliary materials for various electronic materials.

Light burned magnesia is the main raw material of magnesium-based cementitious products. It is used in the production of magnesium-based cementitious products.The light burned magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride (magnesium sulfate) with a certain proportion of the water solution, can be gelled hardened into a certain physical and mechanical properties of the hardened body, so it is also known as magnesium cement.Magnesium as a new type of cement, cement has light weight, high strength, fireproof and heat insulation, energy conservation, environmental protection and other advantages, can be widely used in building materials, municipal, agriculture, machinery, and other fields, such as decorative materials, sanitary ware, ceiling, floor tile, ventilation pipes, anti-theft covers, fireproof doors and Windows, fire prevention board, partition panel, artificial marble, magnesian clay, packing boxes, etc., as well as abrasive, stoves, fireworks guide fixing agent, etc.
