Product Overview

MAGNESIUM METAL TURNINGS 99.5% Extra Pure deliver exceptional chemical reactivity with minimal impurities, ensuring consistent performance in demanding laboratory procedures. The fine, ribbon-like turnings maximize surface area for efficient reaction kinetics, making them a preferred choice for applications requiring precise magnesium involvement. With a guaranteed 99.5% purity level, these turnings eliminate concerns about trace contaminants that could compromise experimental integrity. The material’s controlled particle size distribution prevents uneven reaction rates, while its high thermal conductivity supports uniform heat distribution during exothermic processes. Packaged under inert conditions, these turnings maintain their reactive properties until use. The extra pure grade meets stringent quality standards for analytical and preparative chemistry, offering researchers a reliable magnesium source without the need for additional purification steps. The turnings’ physical form allows for easy portioning and handling, reducing material waste during experimental setup. Their consistent composition ensures reproducible results across multiple experimental runs, an essential requirement for validation studies and process optimization.

FAQs

1. What is the typical shelf life of these magnesium turnings when stored properly?

When kept in a tightly sealed container under dry conditions, these 99.5% pure magnesium turnings maintain their specified purity and reactivity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.

2. How do these turnings compare to magnesium powder in terms of reaction control?

The turnings form provides more controlled reactivity compared to powder due to the larger particle size, which moderates the reaction rate while still offering substantial surface area for efficient chemical interactions.

3. What precautions should be taken when handling these high-purity magnesium turnings?

Always handle in a well-ventilated area using appropriate PPE, as the fine turnings can be pyrophoric when exposed to moisture or air. Store under mineral oil or in an inert atmosphere when not in immediate use.

4. Are these turnings suitable for Grignard reagent preparation?

The 99.5% purity level makes these turnings well-suited for Grignard reagent synthesis, provided standard anhydrous conditions and proper activation procedures are followed during preparation.

5. What’s the recommended storage temperature for maintaining optimal quality?

Store at room temperature (15-25°C) in a dry environment, avoiding temperature fluctuations that could promote condensation and potential surface oxidation of the magnesium turnings.
