Description: Magnesium Carbonate is mainly used in pharmaceutical industries for antacid preparations. Hydrated Magnesium Carbonate is light, white and odorless which is practically insoluble in water but dissolves in dilute acids, producing a strong effervescence. The Magnesium Carbonate offered is also used as an anti-caking agent and a fragrance retainer. Owing to the superior qualities, Magnesium Carbonate finds extensive usage in talcum powder, rubber, glass, gutka, inks, ready made food products such as vada mix, idli mix, onion and garlic powder, free flow salts and all types of fry-umps.
