DESCRIPTION

Sodium Magnesium Aluminosilicate occurs as synthetic, amorphous, food-grade coprecipitates that are fine, white powders or beads. It comprises a series of hydrated sodium magnesium aluminosilicates having Na₂O:MgO:Al₂O₃:SiO₂ molar ratios of approximately 2:1:2:24, respectively. It has a specific gravity of about 2. It is insoluble in water, in alcohol, and in other organic solvents, but it is partially soluble in strongly acidic and alkaline solutions.
