Product Overview
Magnesium carbonate hydroxide hydrate in Puratronic™ grade delivers ultra-high purity at 99.996% metals basis, ensuring minimal trace impurities for critical laboratory applications. This fine white powder is synthesized under stringent conditions to maintain consistent composition and particle size distribution, making it ideal for demanding analytical and synthesis workflows. The hydrated form provides enhanced stability and solubility in aqueous systems, while the carbonate structure offers buffering capacity in controlled pH environments. Its low heavy metal content (<10 ppm) and negligible chloride/sulfate residues prevent interference in sensitive assays or material synthesis. The material is packaged in airtight containers to preserve purity and prevent moisture absorption during storage. Compatible with most inorganic solvents and stable under standard lab conditions, this reagent supports reproducible results in gravimetric analysis, precipitation reactions, and advanced material formulations. The Puratronic™ certification guarantees batch-to-batch consistency, with each lot accompanied by comprehensive traceability documentation and analytical certificates.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard reagent grades?
Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.996% metals basis purity, with stricter controls on trace elemental contaminants compared to standard reagent grades that typically range between 95-99% purity.
2. Can this be used for preparing magnesium oxide through thermal decomposition?
Yes, this hydrated carbonate decomposes to magnesium oxide when heated above 350°C, though the exact temperature profile should be optimized based on your specific equipment and desired oxide properties.
3. What precautions should be taken during weighing?
Use anti-static tools and work in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption, as the hydrated form is mildly hygroscopic. Pre-drying at 110°C for 1 hour may be required for precise gravimetric applications.
4. Is this compatible with organic solvents like ethanol or acetone?
The powder shows limited solubility in polar organic solvents but remains chemically stable. For complete dissolution, acidic aqueous solutions or chelating agents are recommended.
5. How should unused material be stored to maintain purity?
Keep the original container tightly sealed with desiccant packs in a cool, dry place below 25°C. Avoid exposure to atmospheric CO₂, which may alter the carbonate equilibrium over prolonged storage.
