Introduction
Fused Magnesia (FM) is a high-purity Magnesium Oxide (MgO) product, created by melting raw magnesite at above 2800°C. This process results in a dense, highly stable material that is essential for refractory applications, steel production, and industrial coatings.
With the Middle East’s growing infrastructure and industrial expansion, the demand for Fused Magnesia is rising rapidly.
In this blog, we’ll cover:
✔ What makes Fused Magnesia unique
✔ Its key industrial applications
✔ Why the Middle East relies on it
1. What is Fused Magnesia?
Fused Magnesia is a high-density, ultra-pure form of MgO with:
✔ Exceptional heat resistance – Withstands temperatures over 2800°C
✔ Superior corrosion resistance – Protects against slags and harsh chemicals
✔ High electrical insulation – Ideal for advanced ceramics & electronics
Due to these properties, Fused Magnesia is a top choice for demanding industrial applications.
2. Industrial Applications of Fused Magnesia
A. Refractory Industry
FM is widely used in:
- Steel furnace linings for extreme heat protection
- Kiln bricks and castables for durability
- Slag-resistant coatings in metal refining
Middle East Demand:
With expanding steel plants and refineries, countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE are heavily investing in FM-based refractories.
B. Electrical & Ceramic Industry
Fused Magnesia is also a key insulating material for:
✔ High-temperature electrical components
