Product Overview

This 99.5% extra pure magnesium ribbon is engineered for precision in laboratory applications where high reactivity and consistency are critical. The ribbon form ensures uniform surface area exposure, making it ideal for controlled reactions such as combustion studies, synthesis processes, and redox experiments. Its extra pure grade minimizes impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions and ensuring reliable results. The thin, flexible structure allows for easy handling and cutting, while its corrosion-resistant properties extend shelf life without compromising performance. Whether used in qualitative analysis or preparative chemistry, this magnesium ribbon delivers repeatable outcomes due to its standardized thickness and purity. The material’s high thermal conductivity and low density further enhance its suitability for experiments requiring rapid heat dissipation or lightweight components. Store in a dry, airtight container to prevent oxidation and maintain its reactive properties over time.

FAQs

1. What is the typical thickness of this magnesium ribbon?

The ribbon is approximately 0.1–0.2 mm thick, designed for optimal reactivity and flexibility in lab procedures.

2. Can this ribbon be used in aqueous solutions without rapid corrosion?

While magnesium reacts with water, the extra pure grade slows corrosion compared to lower purity alternatives. Use promptly after exposure to moisture.

3. Are there alternatives for experiments requiring slower reaction rates?

Magnesium turnings or powder may offer varied reaction kinetics, but ribbons provide consistent surface area for predictable results.

4. How should I store unused magnesium ribbon to prevent degradation?

Keep it in an airtight container with a desiccant, away from moisture and oxidizing agents, to preserve its purity and reactivity.

5. Is this ribbon compatible with standard lab glassware for combustion tests?

Yes, its thin profile fits easily into combustion tubes and crucibles, ensuring efficient heat transfer during experiments.
