Products Description of maleic-anhydride.html">Magnesium carbonate CAS#546-93-0

Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3, pKso=7.5–8.2) is a key magnesium compound. It exists naturally as magnesite. Most magnesium carbonate used in the U.S. is synthetic. It is mainly produced by mining natural magnesite ore. The trihydrate form MgCO3·3H2O is made by combining magnesium and carbonate ion solutions under carbon dioxide atmosphere.

Product Application of Magnesium carbonate CAS#546-93-0

Magnesium carbonate is widely used in flooring materials, fireproofing and fire-extinguishing formulas. It serves as a filler and smoke suppressant in plastics, a reinforcing agent in neoprene rubber, a drying agent and color preservative in food, and an ingredient in cosmetics. Medically, it acts as an antacid and is added to table salt. It is also a key raw material for manufacturing various magnesium compounds.
