About Magnesium Carbonate (Industrial Grade)

Magnesium Carbonate is a white, odorless powder primarily used as a drying agent in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. It also serves as a reinforcing filler and flame retardant additive in rubber and plastics. Furthermore, its excellent thermal insulation makes it valuable in refractory and fireproofing applications. At Finstar Chemicals, we supply industrial-grade Magnesium Carbonate in 25 kg bags, suitable for industrial formulators and manufacturers. Its non-hygroscopic and heat-resistant characteristics allow stable storage and handling under typical warehouse conditions. Magnesium Carbonate can be incorporated into formulations providing moisture control, improved mechanical strength, and thermal insulation. It is widely applied in the manufacture of antacids, cosmetics, rubber products, refractory bricks, and fireproof panels. Procurement teams in Kenya can rely on consistent quality and prompt delivery from Finstar Chemicals. Proper storage recommendations include keeping the material in cool, dry areas away from moisture to prevent caking. Handling requires standard industrial precautions: avoid dust generation and use appropriate PPE to safeguard worker health. Finstar offers batch documentation and Certificates of Analysis upon request to ensure compliance and traceability.

Applications

Pharmaceutical excipientUsed as an inert drying agent and anti-caking ingredient in tablet formulations and powders.
Rubber filler and additiveImproves mechanical properties and flame resistance in rubber and plastic compounds.
Refractory insulationProvides thermal insulation and fire resistance when used in refractory bricks and fireproof materials.
Cosmetics ingredientFunctions as an absorbent and texturizing agent in personal care products like antiperspirants and powders.

Benefits

Improves moisture control in formulationsIts hygroscopic nature helps absorb moisture, preventing lumps and enhancing product stability during processing.
Enhances fire resistance in materialsMagnesium Carbonate decomposes under heat to release CO2, slowing combustion and protecting base materials.
Supports mechanical strength in rubberActs as a reinforcing filler, improving resistance to wear and extending product lifespan.
Ensures stable handling and storageNon-hygroscopic when packaged properly, reducing risks of caking or degradation in warehouse environments.

Features
