Caustic Calcined Magnesia Powder

Caustic calcined magnesia is magnesium oxide produced by low-temperature calcination of magnesite, resulting in a reactive powder used in chemical and fertilizer industries. It falls under HTS 2519.90.50.00 as 'other magnesium oxide, whether or not pure,' distinct from fused or dead-burned varieties due to its calcination process and reactivity.

Pharmaceutical Grade Magnesium Oxide USP

Light magnesium oxide meeting USP standards for use as an antacid and laxative in pharmaceuticals. Classified under HTS 2519.90.50.00 as other magnesium oxide, provided it derives from natural sources and is not a finished medicament.
