Product Name – Zinc shot, 1-6mm (0.04-0.24in), Puratronic|r, 99.9999% (metals basis) Quantity/Pack Size – 50g, 250g, 1kg Form – Shot (1-6mm granules) Grade – Puratronic (99.9999% metals basis) Application – High-precision lab applications requiring ultra-low impurity levels
Product Overview
This Puratronic-grade zinc shot delivers exceptional purity at 99.9999% (metals basis), making it ideal for applications where trace impurities could compromise results. The uniform 1-6mm (0.04-0.24in) granule size ensures consistent performance in laboratory settings, eliminating variability caused by irregular particle distribution. The material undergoes rigorous purification processes to remove metallic and non-metallic contaminants, resulting in a product with parts-per-million level impurity control. Its high surface-area-to-volume ratio in shot form facilitates efficient reactions while maintaining handling convenience. The zinc is packaged under inert conditions to prevent oxidation, preserving its ultra-high purity until use. This grade is particularly valued in analytical chemistry, materials science, and advanced research where baseline purity directly impacts experimental outcomes. The shot form provides better flow characteristics compared to powder while maintaining high reactivity. Each batch is accompanied by a certificate of analysis verifying its 99.9999% minimum purity specification.
FAQs
1. What is the typical impurity profile for this 99.9999% zinc shot?
The primary impurities are controlled to parts-per-million levels, with typical analysis showing <1ppm each for lead, cadmium, iron, copper, and other common metallic contaminants. Non-metallic impurities like oxygen and carbon are similarly minimized through the Puratronic purification process.
2. How does the 1-6mm shot size compare to zinc powder for laboratory use?
The shot form offers better flow characteristics and reduced dust generation compared to powder, while still providing high surface area for reactions. It’s particularly advantageous in applications requiring precise weighing or where powder dispersion might cause contamination concerns.
3. What storage conditions are recommended to maintain the 99.9999% purity level?
Store in a cool, dry environment with the original packaging tightly sealed. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator or inert gas atmosphere to prevent surface oxidation that could affect the ultra-high purity specification.
4. Is this zinc shot compatible with standard laboratory glassware?
Yes, the material is compatible with borosilicate glass and most common laboratory containers. However, for applications involving strong acids or bases, we recommend using PTFE or other chemically resistant containers to prevent potential leaching.
5. What documentation is provided with each batch of this Puratronic zinc?
Each shipment includes a certificate of analysis detailing the actual purity levels and impurity profile for that specific batch, along with recommended handling and storage guidelines to maintain the 99.9999% purity specification.
