Electro-fused Magnesia 98% Purity

High-purity electro-fused magnesia produced by melting magnesite in an electric arc furnace at temperatures exceeding 2800°C, resulting in a dense crystalline structure. Classified under HTS 2519.90.10.00 as fused magnesia, ideal for refractory linings in steelmaking due to its high resistance to slag and thermal shock.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2816.10.00.00Higher: 28.1% vs Free

If chemically precipitated rather than thermally fused

Synthetic magnesium oxide from chemical precipitation processes falls under inorganic chemicals in Chapter 28, not natural mineral products.

2520.20.00Higher: 35% vs Free

If not dead-burned and retains >40% CO2 as natural magnesite

Uncalcined or lightly calcined magnesite with significant carbonate content remains classified as raw mineral under 2520, not processed magnesia.

3824.99Higher: 15% vs Free

If chemically modified for specific industrial catalysts

Magnesia chemically treated with fluxes or binders for catalyst preparation moves to prepared chemical products in 3824.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify certificate of analysis confirming >95% MgO content and fused production method to avoid reclassification as precipitated magnesium oxide under 2816.10

Include mill test reports documenting sintering temperature (>1600°C for dead-burned) and bulk density to demonstrate compliance with fused/dead-burned definitions
