SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

10.1Reactivity

Decomposes on heating. This produces irritating fumes. Reacts with acids. This produces carbon dioxide gas.

10.2Chemical stability

Stable in air

10.3Possibility of hazardous reactions

MAGNESITE has generally low chemical reactivity. Non-flammable and non-combustible. Reacts with acids and acidic salts to generate gaseous carbon dioxide with effervescence (bubbling). The reaction may be rapid and exothermic with concentrated solutions of acids. The effervescence can create foaming. Incompatible with formaldehyde.
