Magnesium Oxide
Light Burned
Light burned magnesium oxide is a reactive grade that has been calcined at temperatures ranging from 700°C – 1000°C. Martin Marietta Magnesia Specialties’ high purity light burned magnesium oxide products are available in a wide range of reactivities and are used in a wide variety of applications.
Common Applications
- Catalysts
- Magnesium Salts
- Fuel Additives
- Mining
- Other Industrial
Technical Data Sheets
Hard Burned
Hard burned magnesium oxide is a low reactive grade that has been calcined at temperatures ranging from 1000°C – 1500°C. Due to its narrow range of reactivity, hard burned magnesium oxide is typically used in applications where slow chemical reactivity is required.
Common Applications
- Abrasives
- Agricultural
- Building Products (Interior, Non-Structural)
- Ceiling or Wall Tiles
- Ceramics
- Dental Investments
- Drilling Fluids and Cements
- Fiberglass
- Fused MgO Feedstock
- Leather Tanning
- Magnesium salts
- Other Industrial
- Quick Setting Cement
- Refractory & Steelmaking
- Synthetic Fiber
- Wastewater Treatment
- Water Treatment

Dead Burned
Dead burned magnesium oxide has been calcined at temperatures ranging from 1500°C – 2000°C in a high temperature shaft kiln, which yields a high purity material with very little reactivity and high density. These products are well suited in the manufacture of magnesia carbon refractory bricks, monolithic gunning refractories, specialty refractory applications (precast shapes and castables), LCD glass, drilling fluids and cements, and other applications.
Common Applications
- Cements
- Ceramics
- LCD Glass
- Oil & Gas Drilling
- Refractory & Steelmaking

Specialty
Specialty magnesium oxides are manufactured to precise specifications in chemistry, particle size and surface area. Specialty products such as Elastomag® and Marinco® are calcined to produce highly reactive materials for use in specialty applications.
MagChem® 20 SC and MagChem® 50 SC are medium reactive, micronized, magnesium oxide powders formulated for use in the manufacture of silicon grain-oriented steel for high performance electrical transformers.
MagChem® 200 AD is a highly reactive, micronized, magnesium oxide powder for use as a thickener in sheet/bulk molding compounds, as an acid acceptor in PVC applications, and as a curing agent in neoprene/phenolic adhesives.
Common Applications
- Adhesives
- Electrical Steel
- Food Grade
- Rubber & Plastic
