L’union parfaite du bore et de la magnésie





I am not sure how to translate the part between asterisks into English. As you can see, this product contains boron, magnesium oxide and sulphur trioxide. So, do I simply translate 'bore magnésie soufré' as 'boron, magnesium oxide and sulphur trioxide'?

Many thanks in advance for any ideas!

agree  Zareh Darakjian Ph.D.: Yes. The focus is not on the exact type of compounds. The oxide is simply needed there to balance charge... What matters is the S, B and Mg content.
