Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid 60% (Mg(OH)2 slurry, CAS 1309-42-8) is a thick, white suspension with a specific gravity of about 1.5 to 1.6 and a pH near 10.5. It is a safer-to-handle alternative to caustic soda for acid wastewater neutralization, and is used for sewer odor and corrosion control, metals precipitation and as an antacid ingredient. The slurry settles, so tanks need mixing or recirculation and bottom outlets. Use the compatibility ratings to choose the right tank resin, fittings and gaskets.
