Product Overview
This Puratronic™ aluminum rod offers exceptional purity at 99.999% (metals basis), making it one of the highest-grade aluminum materials available for laboratory applications. The 6.35mm (0.25in) diameter provides a versatile size for machining, fabrication, or direct use in experimental setups. Engineered with ultra-low impurity levels, this rod is particularly suited for applications where trace contaminants could compromise results, such as in semiconductor manufacturing, thin-film deposition, or advanced materials research. The Puratronic™ designation ensures rigorous quality control, with each batch analyzed for elemental composition to meet exacting standards. The rod’s uniform diameter and smooth surface finish allow for consistent performance in both mechanical and thermal applications. Available in multiple lengths (4x25cm, 25cm, 5cm), this product provides flexibility for different project requirements while maintaining the same high-purity specifications across all sizes. The aluminum’s natural properties—excellent thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and lightweight nature—are preserved in this high-purity form, making it a reliable choice for demanding laboratory environments.
FAQs
1. What makes Puratronic™ aluminum different from standard aluminum?
Puratronic™ aluminum undergoes additional refining processes to achieve 99.999% purity, reducing trace impurities that could affect experimental outcomes or material properties in sensitive applications.
2. Can this aluminum rod be machined or cut to custom lengths?
Yes, the rod can be easily machined using standard metalworking tools. Its uniform composition ensures consistent results when cutting or shaping to specific dimensions.
3. Is this aluminum suitable for vacuum applications?
The high purity and low outgassing properties of Puratronic™ aluminum make it well-suited for vacuum environments, including thin-film deposition chambers.
4. How should this aluminum rod be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a clean, dry environment away from reactive chemicals. Keep the rod in its original packaging or a sealed container to prevent surface oxidation or contamination.
5. What documentation is provided with this product?
Each rod comes with a certificate of analysis detailing the exact purity levels and trace elemental composition, ensuring transparency for quality control purposes.
