Magnesium Oxide Crucibles (Available Sizes 5ml – 100ml)

Magnesium Oxide Crucibles

Introduction:

Magnesium oxide crucibles are high temperature containers made from high-purity magnesium oxide. Known for their excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and low thermal conductivity, these crucibles are ideal for applications that require containment of materials at elevated temperatures. MgO crucibles are particularly valued for their ability to withstand harsh environments without reacting with the substances they contain.

Applications
