Magnesium oxide (MgO), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium. .While "magnesium oxide" normally refers to MgO, magnesium peroxide MgO2 is also known as a compound.
Our HEAVY MAGNESIUM OXIDE has an extremely high bulk density, much higher than that of other heavy magnesium oxides, which makes it an excellent filler.
Magnesium oxide is used for relief of heartburn and dyspepsia, as an antacid, magnesium supplement, and as a short-term laxative. It is also used to improve symptoms of indigestion. Side effects of magnesium oxide may include nausea and cramping.
Our HEAVY MAGNESIUM OXIDE has a bulk density around 1 g/mL when standard heavy magnesium oxides are close to 0.25 g/l.
