Description
At PILATO, we market magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃) for the industrial market in Spain. Through a company-wide, integrated quality management system, we ensure immediate product availability and an operational approach focused on meeting our customers’ delivery schedules and technical requirements, while integrating seamlessly into their supply chains.

Magnesium carbonate, or magnesite, is used in the manufacture of refractory bricks for the steel industry, where the magnesium oxide obtained on calcination resists attack by basic slags. It is also used in the glass and ceramic industries, where it acts as a high-temperature flux and as a matting agent in glazes. It further finds application in chemical industry formulations and as a mineral filler in compositions requiring an addition of magnesium.

We supply magnesium carbonate in big bags, supported by agile logistics to facilitate its integration into processes already validated by our customers.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About the Magnesium Carbonate

Is magnesium carbonate the same as magnesite?

Yes. Magnesite is the name of the natural mineral whose composition is magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃). In industry both terms are used for the same material, and they share the same CAS number.

On calcination, magnesium carbonate releases CO₂ and produces magnesium oxide, a material with a very high melting point and basic character. That basic character is what allows it to resist attack by steelmaking slags, which would degrade an acidic lining.

It acts as a flux in the upper temperature range and takes part in controlling the coefficient of thermal expansion of the glaze. In certain compositions it is used to achieve matt finishes, since it promotes crystallisation of the coating during cooling.
