Magnesium Turnings – Pure 250g LR Grade (UN 1869)

These high‑quality Pure Magnesium Turnings are supplied in a 250g pack and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) Grade standards. With UN Number 1869 and CAS No. 7439‑95‑4, this material is ideal for a wide range of controlled school chemistry experiments involving metal reactivity, combustion, and redox processes.

Magnesium turnings are widely used in science education due to their bright combustion properties, clear reaction patterns, and suitability for hands‑on practical demonstrations. Their curled, lightweight form makes them easy to use for ignition experiments, acid‑metal reaction studies, and stoichiometry investigations.
