Section 9 鈥? Further Information
After the reaction of magnesium peroxide with water to form oxygen, the resulting
material, magnesium hydroxide, is mildly basic. The amounts of magnesium oxide
(magnesia) and magnesium hydroxide in the initial product have an effect similar to lime,
but with lower alkalinity.
The information contained in this document is the best available to the supplier at the time
of writing, but is provided without warranty of any kind. Some possible hazards have been
determined by analogy to similar classes of material. The items in this document are
subject to change and clarification as more information become available.
