Magnesium Oxide 99%
Odor: characteristic Use: Magnesium Oxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Magnesium source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications. Magnesium oxide is a hygroscopic white powder that forms magnesium hydroxide in the presence of water, it was historically known as magnesia alba (white mineral from Magnesia). Oxide compounds are not conductive to electricity. High Purity (99.999%) Magnesium Oxide (MgO) PowderHowever, certain perovskite structured oxides are electronically conductive finding application in the cathode of solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen generation systems. They are compounds containing at least one oxygen anion and one metallic cation. They are typically insoluble in aqueous solutions (water) and extremely stable making them useful in ceramic structures as simple as producing clay bowls to advanced electronics and in light weight structural components in aerospace and electrochemical applications such as fuel cells in which they exhibit ionic conductivity. Metal oxide compounds arebasic anhydrides and can therefore react with acids and with strong reducing agents in redox reactions. See Nanotechnology for more nanotechnology applications information. Magnesium Oxide is also available in pellets, pieces, powder, sputtering targets, tablets, and nanopowder (from American Elements' nanoscale production facilities). Magnesium Oxide is generally immediately available in most volumes. Ultra high purity, high purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available. |

MAGLITE® A (RX-13911)
Odor: characteristic Use: MAGLITE A (RX-13911) is a high purity, lightly calcined, high surface area, very active magnesium oxide with the finest particle size. Its primary use is to neutralize acids formed during the processing adhesive, plastic and elastomer compounds. This high quality magnesium oxide is produced through a precision controlled proprietart process, which produces consistent unique crystal morphology and very narrow particle size distribution for applications where dispersion, suspension, and fast reaction rates properties are required for precision compounding. |
