Heavy Magnesium Carbonate is a form of magnesium carbonate that has a higher bulk density compared to light magnesium carbonate. The term “heavy” refers to its increased density, making it ideal for applications where bulk and flowability are important. Magnesium carbonate, represented by the chemical formula MgCO₃, is a white, odorless powder or granule that is insoluble in water and commonly used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and sports.

Applications of Heavy Magnesium Carbonate
1. Food Industry:
• Heavy Magnesium Carbonate is used in the food industry as an anti-caking agent and alkaline additive. Its role in keeping powders like baking powders, spices, and seasonings free-flowing and moisture-free is essential for product stability.
• It is also used as a color preservative to maintain the appearance of certain food products, helping prevent color loss caused by oxidation and moisture.
2. Pharmaceuticals:
• In pharmaceutical applications, Heavy Magnesium Carbonate is used as a filler in tablets and capsules, ensuring proper bulk and flowability during the production process. Its ability to absorb moisture also makes it a useful desiccant in keeping medications stable.
• It acts as a neutralizing agent in antacids, providing relief from acid indigestion and heartburn by neutralizing stomach acid.
3. Cosmetics:
• In the cosmetics industry, Heavy Magnesium Carbonate is used in products such as powder foundations, deodorants, and skincare formulations to absorb moisture and maintain product stability. It also helps preserve the color and texture of cosmetic products.
4. Sports and Fitness:
• Heavy Magnesium Carbonate is widely used as gym chalk in sports like rock climbing, gymnastics, and weightlifting. Its moisture-absorbing properties help athletes maintain a secure grip by keeping their hands dry during physical activities.
