APPLICATIONS |
MgCO3 is also used in flooring, fireproofing, fire extinguishing compositions, cosmetics, dusting powder, and toothpaste. Other applications are as filler material, smoke suppressant in plastics, a reinforcing agent in neoprene rubber, drying agent, a laxative to loosen the bowels, and color retention in foods. In addition, high purity magnesium carbonate is used as antacid and as an additive in table salt to keep it free flowing. Magnesium carbonate is fortunately both very safe and extremely abundant. It can be acquired easily and cheaply and is relatively safe to handle as long as one is careful not to get it in the eyes, where it is an irritant. |
