Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide Pentahydrate(CAS: 56378-72-4)

Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide Pentahydrate, also known as magnesium hydroxycarbonate pentahydrate, is a hydrated magnesium carbonate with the chemical formula Mg3(OH)2(CO3)·5H2O. It is a white, crystalline powder with a high water content, commonly used in various applications due to its chemical stability and reactivity.

Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide Pentahydrate finds application in pharmaceuticals as a laxative and antacid, in industry for water treatment and pH adjustment, in food as a leavening agent, and in research for its use in preparing other magnesium compounds and as a buffer material.

Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide Pentahydrate is generally considered safe when used as directed. It is non-toxic and non-flammable. However, prolonged exposure to large quantities may cause skin irritation. Protective measures include wearing gloves and goggles during handling and storing away from heat and direct sunlight.

Magnesium Carbonate Hydroxide Pentahydrate should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Ideal storage conditions are between 15-25°C (59-77°F) with a relative humidity below 60% to maintain its stability and efficacy.
