Product Overview

This Puratronic™ grade aluminum slug delivers exceptional purity at 99.9995% (metals basis), making it one of the highest-quality aluminum materials available for laboratory applications. Each slug maintains precise dimensions of 6.35mm (0.25in) in both diameter and length, ensuring consistency for experimental reproducibility. The ultra-low impurity profile eliminates interference in sensitive analytical techniques, while the solid slug form provides easy handling without contamination risks. The material undergoes rigorous purification processes to remove trace metallic and non-metallic contaminants, resulting in a product that meets the most demanding specifications for research-grade applications. The uniform composition and controlled manufacturing process guarantee batch-to-batch reliability, while the inert aluminum surface resists oxidation under standard lab conditions. This combination of ultra-high purity and dimensional precision makes these slugs particularly valuable for applications where even ppb-level impurities could compromise results.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ grade and standard aluminum?

Puratronic™ grade aluminum undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.9995% purity, removing virtually all trace metallic impurities that remain in standard grades. This results in significantly lower background interference for sensitive analytical applications.

2. Are these slugs compatible with vacuum environments?

The high purity and low outgassing properties of these aluminum slugs make them suitable for use in vacuum systems, though proper degassing procedures should be followed for ultra-high vacuum applications.

3. What alternatives exist for applications requiring slightly lower purity?

For applications where 99.9995% purity isn’t essential, standard 99.99% aluminum or 99.9% aluminum options are available, though these contain higher levels of trace impurities that may affect sensitive measurements.

4. How should these slugs be stored to maintain their purity?

Store in their original packaging in a clean, dry environment away from corrosive vapors. For long-term storage, consider using argon-filled containers to prevent surface oxidation.

5. What certification documentation is provided with these slugs?

Each batch comes with a certificate of analysis detailing the exact impurity profile and purity verification, along with traceability information for quality assurance purposes.
