Magnesium Oxide [CAS# 1309-48-4], in its powder form, is hygroscopic in nature and will absorb moisture from the surrounding atmosphere. As a result, it is commonly used as a drying agent and moisture controlling agent for certain processes, such as paper preservation and in leather treatment. It is also commonly used as a refractory agent in the manufacturing of crucibles and other products that are designed to withstand very high temperatures and maintain their properties. Also, due to these heat-resistant properties that magnesium oxide powder possesses, it is also very commonly used as an insulator for a variety of different applications.

Magnesium Oxide is also a commonly found compound in laboratory settings. It is used as a reagent in a large number of reactions, and as a good white reference for colorimetry. Another common form of magnesium oxide is its hydrogenated form, magnesium hydroxide. Magnesium hydroxide is used in many antacids and laxatives whereby it is known as “milk of magnesia” because of its milk-like appearance.
