Magnesium Carbonate

Key Features & Benefits:

• Purified inorganic compound: magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃) — white, odorless powder. 

• Excellent versatility: acts as a filler, drying agent, antacid raw material, absorbing agent or sports chalk base. 

• Convenient size: 1-pound (≈ 0.45 kg) bag — small enough for specialist users, labs, studios or boutique production.

• High technical grade quality: suitable for numerous industrial, cosmetic and sports-related uses.

• US-based shipping: stored and dispatched from Sheffield, United States — streamlined logistics for domestic buyers.

Typical Applications:

• Sports & Fitness Chalk: Known in climbing, gymnastics, weight-lifting as “chalk” because magnesium carbonate dries hands, improving grip.

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as filler, absorbing powder and anti-caking agent in face powders, body powders and mattifying cosmetic blends. 

• Industrial Fillers & Reinforcements: Serves as filler in rubber/plastic composites, paper, refractory materials, glass and ceramics.

• Chemical & Manufacturing Use: Source for magnesium oxide production (via calcination), or used as base chemical raw material. 

Technical & Handling Info:

• Chemical Formula: MgCO₃. 

• Appearance: White powder, odourless, insoluble in water (but reactive with acids).

• Storage: Keep dry, sealed and away from strong acids or incompatible chemicals; moisture control recommended.

• Safety: Although non-toxic in many applications, wear appropriate PPE (dust mask, eyewear) when handling fine powders; avoid inhalation and keep away from children if used in sports or cosmetic environments.

• Packaging: Supplied in sealed bag, clearly labelled with chemical name and weight.

Why Choose This Product?

For industrial formulators, cosmetic-blend developers, sport chalk producers or boutique lab users — this 1-pound format offers an optimal size: large enough for meaningful use, small enough to avoid excess inventory. Backed by quality raw-material provenance and shipped domestically from Sheffield, US, it provides reliability, flexibility and ease of use.

Use & Application Tips (Staff-College-style “Order of Battle”):

1. Recon & Setup: Establish your specific use-case (chalk, filler, cosmetic additive, chemical feed). Confirm compatibility of magnesium carbonate with your formulation matrix.

2. Deployment: Weigh out required amount; if blending, ensure uniform dispersion (especially for fillers or cosmetic powders). For sports-chalk use: dust hands or mixing bin lightly.

3. Monitoring & Adjustments: Because magnesium carbonate offers different behaviour (absorption, flow, dust) compared to alternatives, test for flow, clumping, moisture uptake or aesthetic finish.

4. After-Action Maintenance: Reseal remaining product promptly, store in dry environment; label bag for “technical use – magnesium carbonate powder”.

5. Contingency / Scaling: Keep small sample for reference and future lot comparison. For larger scale use, consider contacting for bulk / higher grade options.
