Magnesium Carbonate Heavy Extra Pure is a denser, high-purity grade of magnesium carbonate known for its exceptional stability, low solubility in water, and high absorbent capacity. It is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations as an antacid and magnesium supplement, and in food processing as an anti-caking agent and food additive. Its heavier bulk density makes it ideal for industrial uses such as in rubber and plastic manufacturing, where it serves as a reinforcing filler. In cosmetics, it contributes to moisture control in powders and skin care products. It is also valued in laboratories for analytical applications where precision and consistency are essential.
Magnesium Carbonate Heavy Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Acid-Base Reaction Demonstrations:

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Wear a lab coat, nitrile gloves, and protective goggles.
- Use a dust mask or work in a fume hood to avoid inhalation of airborne particles.
Handling:
- Avoid generating dust.
- Do not breathe dust; minimize direct contact with skin and eyes.
- Handle in a well-ventilated area.
- Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
- Keep the container tightly closed and away from moisture.
- Avoid contact with acids, which can lead to the release of carbon dioxide gas.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
- Move the affected person to fresh air.
- Seek medical attention if coughing, shortness of breath, or irritation persists.
Skin Contact:
- Wash with plenty of water and soap.
- Remove contaminated clothing.
- Consult a doctor if irritation develops.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse immediately with clean water for several minutes.
- Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
- Continue rinsing and seek medical help if irritation continues.
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water.
- Do not induce vomiting.
- Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability:
- Non-flammable.
- Fine dust may create a combustible dust hazard in air.
Extinguishing Media:
- Use dry chemicals, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray.
- Avoid high-pressure water streams.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
- May produce magnesium oxide fumes when heated to decomposition.
Firefighter Protection:
- Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
