Magnesium hydroxide is a white, powdery solid with the chemical formula Mg(OH)₂, used in various industrial and pharmaceutical applications. It is primarily employed as an antacid and laxative in medicine, and as a flame retardant and smoke suppressant in plastics and coatings. Magnesium hydroxide is also used in water treatment and as a neutralizing agent in chemical processes. Despite its utility, magnesium hydroxide can cause skin and eye irritation if not handled properly. Proper handling, storage, and safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential to ensure safe usage and prevent exposure. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are also necessary.
