Magnesium Carbonate

Magnesium Carbonate

Industrial aqueous Basic Magnesium Carbonate, its abbreviation Slight Magnesium Carbonate.  Molecular formula is 4MgCO3.Mg(OH)2.8H2O. White monoclinic crystal or amorphous powder, innocuous, odourless, stable in air. Slightly dissolvable in water, makes water alkalescence. Light Magnesium Carbonate usually decomposes into H2O, CO2 and Magnesium Oxide at over 300°C.

Light Magnesium Carbonate, used as fine filling medium and reinforcing agent, applied to heat insulation, fireproofing thermal insulation material and advanced electrical insulating material; also in daily chemicals and medicine products such as senior glass products, magnesiumsalts, pigment, paint, fire retardant coating, print ink, ceramics, cosmetics, toothpaste, etc. Food grade light magnesium carbonate can be used as flour additive, and desiccant, color fixative, carrier, antitackiness agent and anti-skidding powder for athlete.
