Detailed Product Description:

 

Also known as an oxygen release compound, Magnesium Peroxide is a fine

 

white, odorless powder.  Commercially, magnesium peroxide exists as a

 

compound of magnesium peroxide, magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate,

 

hence being referred to as a complex. 

 

 

A strong oxidizer, the complex is insoluble in water but soluble in dilute

 

acids with the formation of hydrogen peroxide.  Soluble in glycerol.

 

 

Grade/Purity:

 

This is Technical Grade with a minimum purity of 95%.

 

 

Applications:

 

It is similar to calcium peroxide in its release of oxygen by breaking down

 

at a controlled rate with a hydrous fluid.  It can also be used in bleaching,

 

disinfecting, and deodorizing.  Used in mineral waters and as a dietary

 

supplement.

 

 

Magnesium peroxide, being environmentally benign, along with its stable

 

oxygen release, is used widely in the cosmetic, agricultural, pharmaceutical,

 

and environmental industries.  It is used to reduce contaminant levels in

 

groundwater.  Magnesium peroxide is used in the bioremediation of contaminated

 

soil and can improve the soil quality for plant growth and metabolism.  It also

 

used in the aquaculture industry for bioremediation.
