Aluminium Metal Powder (Fine) – LR Grade, 250g (UN Approved)

Aluminium Metal Powder (Fine) is supplied in a 250g UN‑approved container and produced to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. The fine particle size provides a high surface area, making this material particularly suitable for controlled demonstrations and practical investigations in educational chemistry laboratories.

Identified by CAS Number: 7429‑90‑5 and UN Number: 1396, aluminium powder is a regulated flammable solid and must be handled with care. Its reactivity makes it a valuable teaching material for illustrating oxidation, corrosion, and metal reactivity when used under appropriate supervision and in accordance with COSHH risk assessments.

Please note: this product is supplied exclusively to educational establishments. Customers must be logged in with an approved school or institutional account for the Add To Basket button to appear, and orders are shipped only to school addresses. Due to courier regulations, chemical products cannot be returned.
