UBE Seawater Magnesia (MgO) consistently stands out due to its high-quality production and purity, as well as its versatile application possibilities. We have been marketing UBE in Europe for over ten years now.

UBEs materials are used in various products in the fields of ceramics, refractory materials, and glass production. With an MgO content of 95% to 99%, UBE’s seawater magnesia offers a quality and purity that is rare in this premium segment. The production process is fully vertically integrated, ensuring consistently high quality. The purity and consistency of the material is highly important in specialized applications where lower qualities do not deliver the desired results.

As mentioned, UBE Seawater Magnesia plays a central role in the ceramics and refractory industries. Due to its high heat and corrosion resistance, this material is ideal for applications that resist to temperatures above 1.500°C and chemical resistance. It is used in high-temperature ceramics and refractory linings for industrial furnaces. In these applications, the material’s long-lasting durability is crucial.

In addition to durability, the aspect of environmental compatibility is a property that usually makes the use of UBE more sustainable. Even if increased CO2 emissions occur during the integrated production process due to the thermal treatment, the product can be considered sustainable in use. According to the presentation held by UBE during MagForum 2023, MgO contributes to improving the corrosion resistance of lead-free and chrome-free anti-corrosion coatings, such as those used on steel bridges. This improvement in structural lifespan leads to reduced maintenance requirements. Besides these products, UBE Seawater Magnesia can also be used in high-performance fillers for electric vehicles and as a pesticide in agricultural chemicals. The pesticide replaces conventional chemicals and is environmentally friendly.
