What is Magnesium Carbonate? – Overview and Key Benefits
Magnesium Carbonate (MgCO₃) is a high-purity inorganic compound widely used across food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and industrial applications. It appears as a fine, white, odorless powder with excellent stability and a long shelf life. Known for its low solubility in water and strong moisture-absorbing properties, it acts effectively as an anti-caking agent, acidity regulator, filler, and mineral supplement.
Food-grade Magnesium Carbonate complies with global standards including FCC, USP, EP, and E-number regulations. In pharmaceuticals, it is used as an antacid, tablet diluent, and magnesium supplement. Industrial grades are utilized in rubber processing, ceramics, adhesives, personal care formulations, and flame-retardant systems.
Its high purity, excellent whiteness, controlled particle size, and low heavy metal content make it ideal for applications where consistency, safety, and functional performance are essential.
