Iron Metal Powder – LR Grade, 500g

Iron Metal Powder is a high quality Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade elemental iron supplied in a 500g container, ideal for use in educational science laboratories. The fine powder form provides a large surface area, allowing the chemical and physical properties of iron to be clearly observed during practical lessons and demonstrations.

This product has a CAS Number of 7439‑89‑6 and no UN number assigned (UN: NR). Iron powder appears as a fine, dark grey metallic solid and is strongly magnetic, making it particularly useful for experiments involving magnetism, oxidation, and metal reactivity when handled in accordance with standard laboratory safety procedures.

Supplied clearly labelled and suitable for storage in school prep rooms, this reagent supports reliable and repeatable results throughout the academic year.
