What is Magnesium Hydroxide?

Magnesium hydroxide is a white powdered compound precipitated from the reaction of dolomitic or high calcium quicklime and seawater. Magnesium hydroxide is commonly used as a component in antacids. While magnesium hydroxide does form in nature as the mineral brucite, it is regularly produced on an industrial scale.

Lime Slaking Systems & Upgrades

Over time, equipment at magnesium hydroxide manufacturing facilities may need updated or replaced due to normal wear and tear or for the integration of new technologies. Carmeuse supplies advanced equipment solutions for lime storage, handling, and slaking through our wholly owned subsidiary, Storage & Transfer Technologies (STT).

Our expert engineers can design the right solution to keep your production processes for plastics and rubber running smoothly, from new lime handling systems and slakers, to retrofits and upgrades for your existing equipment.
