Magnesium Carbonate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Magnesium Karbonat
Magnesium carbonate supplier for food, pharmaceutical, rubber, feed and technical buyers in Malaysia. Also searched as magnesium karbonat, this white powder family covers anhydrous MgCO3 and commercial light, basic and heavy grades that are not specification-equivalent.
Light magnesium carbonate is a very bulky powder chosen for free-flow, anti-caking and high-absorbency duties. Heavy grades offer higher bulk density for easier volume handling. Food, pharmaceutical, technical, rubber and feed grades are selected by end use, with MgO content, bulk density and particle size confirmed against the required specification.
Food processors use food-grade material as an anti-caking and drying aid in powders. Pharmaceutical buyers specify suitable grades for antacid and excipient work, while rubber compounders use technical powder as a filler. Feed millers and refractory or insulation formulators select feed or technical grades matched to their process.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Magnesium Carbonate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light magnesium carbonate | very light, bulky white powder | — | Free-flow and anti-caking duties, pharmaceutical antacid or excipient work, and other applications that need high bulk and absorbency from a basic or hydrated commercial carbonate. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Heavy magnesium carbonate | denser white powder | — | Higher bulk-density handling where volume efficiency matters in compounding, blending or bulk transfer, while still specifying a magnesium carbonate powder grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Food grade magnesium carbonate | white powder | — | Food anti-caking, drying and free-flow use in powders and salt blends where a food-grade specification is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical and rubber grade magnesium carbonate | white powder | — | Rubber filler and compounding, industrial free-flow aids and technical formulations that name a technical or rubber-grade carbonate powder. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Feed grade magnesium carbonate | white powder or granules as specified | — | Magnesium source in compound feeds and mineral premixes where a feed-grade specification is stated. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Magnesium Carbonate applications
Safety and handling
Store in a cool, dry place in closed bags away from acids, which decompose it with carbon dioxide release. The light grade dusts readily; control dust and use suitable eye and respiratory protection when handling open bags.
Common questions about magnesium carbonate
What is the difference between light and heavy magnesium carbonate?
Light magnesium carbonate is a very bulky, low bulk-density powder often supplied as a basic or hydrated commercial grade. Heavy magnesium carbonate is denser and easier to handle in volume. Chemistry is not interchangeable by name alone; match bulk density and the written specification.
Is basic magnesium carbonate the same as anhydrous MgCO3?
Not necessarily. Commercial light and basic grades are often hydrated or basic carbonates and are commonly controlled on MgO content rather than a single anhydrous MgCO3 assay. State the grade and any CAS or formula limit your process requires.
Which grade should I request for food, pharma, rubber or feed use?
Food anti-caking needs a food-grade specification. Pharmaceutical antacid or excipient work needs a pharmaceutical grade and limits. Rubber compounding usually names a technical or rubber grade powder. Feed use needs a feed-grade specification. Name the end use in the enquiry.
Is this page for gym chalk or sports chalk?
No. This catalogue page is for industrial, food, pharmaceutical, rubber and feed magnesium carbonate powder enquiries, not consumer gym or sports chalk packs.
How does magnesium carbonate differ from magnesium oxide or magnesium sulphate?
Magnesium carbonate is a carbonate powder that decomposes to magnesium oxide on heating and is largely insoluble in water. Magnesium oxide (magnesia) and magnesium sulphate (including Epsom salt) are different products and should be enquired on their own pages.
What details are needed for a magnesium carbonate price enquiry?
Provide grade or form (light, heavy, food, pharmaceutical, technical, rubber or feed), target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention bulk density, MgO content, mesh size, preferred packing and any product documents so the quotation can cover the full requirement.
