Notes
4 MgCO3 x Mg(OH)2 x 4 H2O
A white very light weight powder that is practically insoluble in water.
Light magnesium carbonate or hydromagnesite is made by precipitation from a boiled solution of magnesium sulfate and sodium carbonate.
Light magnesium carbonate is used as a electrolyte in both ground and cover coat enamels. It is added (.12-.25%) to flocculate clay slurries, improving and stabilizing the set and suspension characteristics.
pH (1% suspension): 9.5
Bulk Density: 130-140 g/l
Particle Size (+6 microns): 75% (+2 microns): 98%
