For formulators and chemists in the B2B sector, a deep understanding of chemical ingredients is fundamental to successful product development. Magnesium Carbonate (CAS 23389-33-5) is a compound with a unique set of properties that make it invaluable across various industries, particularly in cosmetics and food. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a specialized manufacturer, provides detailed insights into the chemical characteristics of this essential material.

Magnesium Carbonate exists in various hydrated forms, but the common forms used in industry are typically represented by basic hydrated magnesium carbonate. The molecular formula provided, CH12Mg2O10, corresponds to a hydrated form, often referred to as magnesium subcarbonate. Its molecular weight is approximately 232.71 g/mol. This specific composition influences its physical attributes, such as its appearance as colorless or white square crystal granules, and its chemical behavior.

A key chemical property of Magnesium Carbonate is its practical insolubility in water and organic solvents like acetone and ammonia. However, it readily dissolves in diluted acids with effervescence, releasing carbon dioxide gas. This reactivity is important to consider during formulation and processing. Its MgO content, typically around 40.0-43.5% by weight, indicates the significant presence of magnesium oxide within its structure, contributing to its alkaline nature and buffering capacity.

The specification for 'Acid-insoluble substances' being very low (≤ 0.05%) highlights the high purity of Magnesium Carbonate intended for sensitive applications like cosmetics and food. Similarly, strict limits on heavy metals (≤ 0.003%) and arsenic (≤ 4 ppm) underscore its suitability for regulated industries. These parameters are crucial for manufacturers who need to buy Magnesium Carbonate that complies with strict safety and quality standards.

Our role as a manufacturer is to ensure that the Magnesium Carbonate we supply consistently meets these detailed specifications. We provide comprehensive Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for our clients. If you are a procurement manager or R&D scientist looking to understand the precise chemical properties and sourcing reliable Magnesium Carbonate from China, we encourage you to reach out. Partnering with NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. guarantees access to expertly produced Magnesium Carbonate for your formulation needs.
