Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide magnesium hydroxide which can be formulated with a thermoplastic polymer to impart sufficient flame retardancy thereto without causing a discoloration problem. SOLUTION: The magnesium hydroxide has a calcium content of 1/100 or smaller and a content of a metallic element of group 14 in the periodic table of 0.2/100 to 20/100, the contents being expressed in terms of a numerical ratio of the related atoms to the magnesium atoms, a BET specific surface area of 100 m2/g or larger as measured by nitrogen adsorption. This is produced by dissolving a magnesium compound in water and hydrolyzing the compound in the presence of an element of group 14 in the periodic table. A flame-retardant polymer composition prepared by formulating a synthetic polymer with the magnesium hydroxide exhibits sufficient flame retardancy and does not discolor even when heated.
