3. Chemical Storage Solutions
Tanks for Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid Storage
Polymaster’s Self-Bunded range is the ultimate storage solution for Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid. This range incorporates the bund with the storage tank, providing a bund capacity of 110% of the internal storage tank. In the unlikely event of a leak, this design prevents chemicals from coming into contact with the environment and personnel. Polymaster’s chemical tanks are not rainwater tanks and follow strict QA processes, such as hydro testing each tank to ensure they are 100% leak-proof.

Small chemical storage tanks offer advantages over large storage tanks in terms of flexibility, accessibility, and safety. Their smaller size allows for easier handling and transportation, making them ideal for labs, small-scale industrial operations, and fieldwork where mobility is key.
These tanks are suitable for environments with limited space, allowing convenient storage in confined areas. They also facilitate precise inventory management, reducing the risk of overstocking and chemical waste. They can be easily replaced or cleaned, ensuring better hygiene and reducing cross-contamination.
Enclosed IBC Bund
IBC Storage (1,000L)
Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are versatile and widely used due to their large capacity and convenient design.
Polymaster’s unique Enclosed IBC Bund solves many of the problems associated with IBC storage and chemical/fluid decanting in a weather-resistant, purpose-built enclosure.
Constructed from high-grade polyethylene, the Polymaster Enclosed IBC Bund allows for easy forklift movement of IBCs in/out, with a simple connection made to a 250 litre day tank, eliminating OH&S issues associated with IBC handling.

Large chemical storage tanks offer significant benefits over small tanks in terms of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and operational capacity. These tanks store substantial volumes of chemicals, reducing the need for frequent refilling and minimising downtime in industrial processes. This efficiency translates to lower storage costs and the ability to purchase chemicals in bulk at discounted rates.
Large tanks also centralise storage, simplifying inventory management and logistics while ensuring a continuous supply of necessary chemicals. Fewer large containers reduce the risk of leaks and spills, and these tanks are equipped with advanced safety features to handle hazardous materials securely.

5. Applications
What are the applications for Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid?
Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid is a versatile chemical with a wide range of applications across various industries.
Here are some of its primary uses:
Wastewater Treatment
Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid is used as a neutralising agent in wastewater treatment processes to adjust the pH of acidic waste streams. This application helps in reducing the corrosiveness of the wastewater and ensures it meets environmental discharge standards.
Flue Gas Desulphurisation
Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid is used in flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) processes to remove sulfur dioxide (SO₂) from industrial emissions. It reacts with the sulfur dioxide in the flue gas, reducing the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere.
6. FAQ
Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid is a viscous chemical that is highly reactive and corrosive which requires special handling and storage. It is important that it is stored within a container that is resistant to corrosive chemicals. This means within a tank or container that is built for the purpose of holding aggressive chemicals.
Store Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Use containers made of compatible materials, such as our 7032 grade hexene 1.5SG – 2SG to store Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid.
Store Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid separately from other chemicals, particularly acids, which can react with it and cause dangerous reactions.
Ensure that Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid containers are tightly sealed and labelled with the proper hazard warnings.
Regularly inspect and check your tank for any signs of damage or wear that may occur and get them repaired immediately.
When it comes to storing Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid, what you are storing it with is just as important as you can cause serious harm to people on-site or the environment around you. Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid should not be stored with acids or any other chemicals that can react with it.
When it comes to the storage and handling of Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid it is important that it is handled safely, and that everyone on-site is kept safe. Here are a few guidelines to follow to keep your workplace safe:
Store the chemical in its own designated area, away from other chemicals and direct sunlight. If Magnesium Hydroxide Liquid is exposed to direct sunlight, it can degrade quickly causing the chemical to lose its effectiveness.
With any type of corrosive chemical using the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles and face shield is a must, Magnesium Hydroxide is no different.
Avoid inhaling Magnesium Hydroxide fumes or mist, which can cause respiratory irritation and other health problems.
Always handle Magnesium Hydroxide with care and avoid splashing or spilling it.
Do not mix Magnesium Hydroxide with any other chemicals or substances without first consulting a qualified professional.
