Flame retardants play a crucial role in preventing or slowing the spread of fire in various materials, from plastics and textiles to construction components. Among these, magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) has gained recognition as an effective, environmentally friendly flame retardant.

Flame retardant Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)₂] is a versatile compound with key uses in medicine, industry, and environmental applications. In healthcare, Flame retardant Magnesium hydroxide serves as an antacid (e.g., Milk of Magnesia) to neutralize stomach acid and relieve heartburn, while its laxative properties help treat constipation. Industrially, Flame retardant Magnesium hydroxide acts as a flame retardant in plastics and construction materials by releasing water vapor when heated, suppressing fires. It also neutralizes acidic wastewater and flue gases in pollution control. In agriculture, Flame retardant Magnesium hydroxide corrects soil acidity and supplements animal feed. Approved as a food additive (E528), Flame retardant Magnesium hydroxide prevents clumping in powdered products. Though generally safe, overuse can cause digestive side effects. Flame retardant Magnesium hydroxide's low toxicity and multifunctional properties make it valuable across diverse fields.
