Cobalt Metal Powder – LR Grade, 50g (UN Approved)

Cobalt Metal Powder is supplied in a 50g UN‑approved container and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. The fine metallic powder form provides a high surface area, making it well suited to controlled demonstrations and advanced practical investigations in educational chemistry laboratories.

Identified by CAS Number: 7440‑48‑4 and UN Number: 3089, cobalt metal powder is a regulated substance and must be handled with care. As a transition metal, cobalt is particularly valuable in teaching contexts due to its magnetic properties, reactivity, and role in coordination chemistry. All use should follow appropriate laboratory safety procedures and COSHH risk assessments.
