Description

Magnesium Peroxide CAS NO 1335-26-8 is an inorganic peroxide compound widely utilized as a stable source of active oxygen. This versatile chemical is valued for its controlled oxidizing action, making it a key component in environmental remediation and industrial processes. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the water treatment, agricultural, and polymer industries for its efficacy and reliability.

Application

• Environmental Remediation: Used as a solid, long-lasting source of oxygen for in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) to treat soil and groundwater contaminated with organic compounds.
• Wastewater Treatment: Acts as an oxidizing agent to break down organic pollutants and assist in odor control in industrial and municipal treatment systems.
• Agriculture: Employed as a soil amendment to improve aeration and provide a slow-release oxygen source for root zones, particularly in compacted or waterlogged soils.
• Polymer Industry: Serves as a curing agent and cross-linking initiator in the production of specialty rubbers and polymers.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used in formulations for toothpaste and other oral care products for its mild bleaching and antimicrobial properties.
• Pharmaceuticals: Functions as an active ingredient in certain medicinal preparations, primarily for its antiseptic and oxygen-releasing qualities.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Peroxide is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. We adhere to relevant industrial standards, and our quality assurance includes comprehensive testing for active oxygen content, purity, and physical properties. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee product integrity and support your quality management systems.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as acids, reducing agents, and organic compounds. Due to its nature as an easily oxidized material (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to keep containers sealed under an inert gas when not in use. Maintain storage temperatures between 15°C and 25°C.
