Iron Metal Filings (Fine) – LR Grade, 3kg

Iron Metal Filings (Fine) are supplied in a generous 3kg container and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade, making them ideal for frequent use in educational science laboratories. The fine particle size provides a large surface area, allowing iron’s physical and chemical properties to be clearly demonstrated during practical lessons.

This product has a CAS Number of 7439‑89‑6 and no UN number assigned (UN: NR). Iron filings appear as a dark grey metallic powder and are strongly magnetic, properties which make them particularly engaging for hands‑on classroom experiments when handled in line with standard laboratory safety guidelines.

Supplied clearly labelled and suitable for storage in school prep rooms, this bulk pack supports repeated demonstrations and class practicals throughout the academic year.
