Popular questions
What category is e504 in ruby princess?
In food additives, E504 is magnesium carbonates, classified mainly as a carrier and also used as an anti-caking and acidity-regulating/rising agent.
What year is a tree farmer skidder serial number e504-019?
That serial number isn’t related to the food additive; in food labeling, E504 refers to magnesium carbonates used as a carrier/anti-caking/acidity regulator.
Why take calcium and magnesium carbonates?
They are used as antacids to neutralize stomach acid and as mineral supplements to provide calcium and magnesium; in foods they also serve as acidity regulators and anti-caking agents.
How to remove calcium silicate from pool?
Calcium silicate scale is very hard and relatively acid‑resistant, so it’s typically removed by mechanical means (pumice/scale pads or bead blasting) after lowering pH and using a sequestering agent; an acid spot test that doesn’t fizz helps confirm it’s silicate, not carbonate. Prevent recurrence by keeping water balanced (pH/alkalinity/calcium) and using a sequestrant.
What is calcium silicate board?
A rigid, noncombustible building/insulation board made from calcium silicate hydrates, valued for fire resistance, moisture tolerance, and dimensional stability. It’s used for fireproofing, lining stoves/flues, and thermal or acoustic insulation.
How to cut calcium silicate board?
Score‑and‑snap works for thin sheets; thicker boards are cut with a circular saw using a carbide or diamond blade at a slow feed rate. Control dust with wet cutting or HEPA extraction and wear PPE (respirator, eye protection, gloves).
Is calcium silicate bad for you?
As a food additive (E552) used mainly as an anticaking agent, it’s considered safe at permitted levels (JECFA ADI “not specified”; FDA GRAS). The main concern is inhaling fine dust in occupational settings, which can irritate the respiratory tract.
Is calcium silicate vegan?
Yes—it's a mineral/synthetic ingredient with no animal-derived components, so E552 is generally suitable for vegans.
