From zero to one, how does Zehui make magnesium hydroxide a new benchmark in the coatings industry?

Since its establishment, Jiangsu Zehui Magnesium has been deeply engaged in the field of magnesium compounds, especially the research and development and application of magnesium hydroxide. As a leader in the industry, Zehui Magnesium has successfully introduced magnesium hydroxide, a traditional material, into the coatings industry with its persistent pursuit of technology and keen insight into the market, and made it a new benchmark in this field.

Zehui Magnesium is well aware that technological innovation is the core driving force for the development of enterprises. Therefore, the company continues to increase its investment in the research and development of magnesium hydroxide, and successfully improves the purity and performance of magnesium hydroxide by introducing advanced preparation technology and optimizing production processes. High-purity magnesium hydroxide not only has excellent flame retardancy, filling and neutralization properties, but also can significantly improve the weather resistance, chemical resistance and mechanical strength of the coating, so that the coating can still maintain good performance in harsh environments.

The role of magnesium hydroxide in the coatings industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Flame retardant properties
As a highly efficient flame retardant, magnesium hydroxide performs well in coatings. When the paint encounters a fire source, magnesium hydroxide will decompose rapidly, absorbing a large amount of heat and releasing water vapor. This process not only reduces the surface temperature of the burning object, but also dilutes the oxygen concentration in the air, thereby effectively inhibiting the spread of the flame. In addition, the magnesium oxide produced by the decomposition will adhere to the surface of the burning object to form a protective layer, further preventing the combustion from proceeding. This flame retardant mechanism makes the paint containing magnesium hydroxide have significant advantages in the fields of fire retardant coatings, architectural coatings, etc., which can significantly improve the fire resistance level of the coating and protect the substrate from fire.

2. Improve heat resistance
Magnesium hydroxide itself has high heat resistance, and adding it to the coating can significantly improve the high temperature resistance of the coating. Under high temperature environment, magnesium hydroxide can maintain stable performance and is not easy to decompose, which makes the coating still stable under high temperature environment and not easy to chemically change or deform. Therefore, coatings containing magnesium hydroxide are particularly suitable for occasions that require high temperature resistance, such as industrial equipment, car hoods, etc.

3. Enhance alkali resistance
The alkali resistance of magnesium hydroxide enables the coating to remain stable in an alkaline environment. For coatings such as exterior wall coatings that need to be exposed to wind, sun and acid rain for a long time, the addition of magnesium hydroxide can significantly extend the life of the coating. This is because magnesium hydroxide can neutralize alkaline substances and prevent the coating from being damaged by alkaline erosion.

4. Improve physical properties
Adding magnesium hydroxide to the coating formula can also improve the cohesion and adhesion of the coating, making the coating more durable. This enhanced physical property is particularly important for improving the wear resistance of the coating. At the same time, the fine particles of magnesium hydroxide are not easy to precipitate, which helps to improve the stability and durability of the coating.

Looking to the future, Zehui Magnesium will continue to adhere to the development concept of innovation-led and continue to increase investment in the research and development of magnesium hydroxide. Through technological innovation, market expansion and brand building and other efforts, the company will continue to promote the application and development of magnesium hydroxide in the coating industry, and contribute more wisdom and strength to the green and sustainable development of the coating industry.
