min. 99.9% magnesium hydroxide carbonate powder, extra light, magnesium carbonate, E504(ii), CAS No.: 12125-28-9

Product information "min. 99.9% magnesium hydroxide carbonate powder, extra light, magnesium carbonate, E504(ii), CAS No.: 12125-28-9"

Magnesium Hydroxide Carbonate, also known as Magnesia Alba, is a versatile mineral raw material used in numerous industries. For private users, the substance is primarily known as "chalk" – particularly in climbing sports, where it is used to dry hands and improve grip. However, magnesia alba is also valued in gymnastics, weightlifting, bouldering, and track and field athletics.

Our product is a particularly pure grade (E504 II) with an exceptionally low bulk density ("extra light") of only 85 g/dm³. This high purity makes the product suitable not only for technical applications but also for use as a food additive and in dietary supplements.

Applications of Magnesium Hydroxide Carbonate at a Glance

Thanks to its chemical and physical properties, magnesia alba is used in many areas:

  • Filler in the ceramics and plastics industry
  • Refractory materials, for example in kilns or casting molds
  • Insulation aid in technical applications
  • Mold release agent in industrial manufacturing
  • Food additive (E504) – e.g., as a release agent and acidity regulator
  • Dietary supplement as a magnesium source
  • Stomach acid regulation (antacid) in the pharmaceutical sector
  • Additive in the manufacture of rubber-based materials
  • Sport & Leisure: as chalk for climbing, bouldering, gymnastics, and weightlifting
