Magnesium Aluminium Silicate Hydrate

Magnesium Aluminium Silicate Hydrate

Magnesium Aluminium Silicate Hydrate is a pharmaceutical aid and multifunctional material used in pharmaceutical, ceramic and chemical industries. The MgO-SiO₂-H₂O system has been investigated for potential applications in radioactive waste encapsulation owing to its lower pH and excellent sorption properties.

Magnesium Silicate Hydrate (MSH) gel is the principal hydration product of the MgO-SiO₂-H₂O system. Despite its amorphous nature, it exhibits structural similarities to crystalline magnesium silicates and possesses excellent suspending, thickening and stabilizing properties.

We specialize in manufacturing high-purity antacid and pharmaceutical raw materials conforming to global pharmacopeia standards including IP, BP and USP.
