Magnesium Hydroxide Pastes and Gels

Our line of magnesium hydroxide gels and pastes is available worldwide and provides the consistent quality required for pharmaceutical use. Magnesium hydroxide can be used as a digestive aid active (milk of magnesia).

Flogel is a pumpable magnesium hydroxide suspension. Because of its very low viscosity, Flogel requires the use of suspending agents.

LVM magnesium paste is recommended for extra-strength products where a suspending agent is employed.

Type M magnesium paste is ideally suited for regular-strength antacid suspensions or milk of magnesia (MoM) laxatives. Because the M grade has high viscosity and it yields a creamy product, suspending agents are not necessary.

MG12 magnesium paste is ideally suited for regular strength antacid suspensions or milk of magnesia (MoM) laxatives. MG12 has the same advantages as M, but is easier to transfer because it is pumpable. It can be delivered in drums, totes, and even bulk container trucks.
