Product Overview

This 99.999% pure aluminum wire is engineered for demanding laboratory applications where trace impurities can compromise results. The Puratronic™ grade ensures exceptional purity, with a hard temper that maintains structural integrity during handling. The 0.1mm (0.004in) diameter provides fine control for delicate procedures, while the consistent composition minimizes variability in experiments. The wire is produced under stringent quality controls to meet the exacting standards of research environments. Its high thermal and electrical conductivity makes it suitable for specialized applications requiring precise material properties. The wire is supplied in continuous lengths (5m or 25m) to accommodate different project scales without splicing. The hard temper resists deformation during manipulation, ensuring reliable performance in critical setups. This product is particularly valued in environments where material consistency directly impacts experimental outcomes.

FAQs

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

Puratronic™ aluminum wire undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.999% purity, removing trace elements that could interfere with sensitive applications. Standard aluminum wire typically contains higher impurity levels that may affect experimental results.

2. Can this wire be used for electrical connections in lab equipment?

Yes, the high purity and conductivity of this aluminum wire make it suitable for low-resistance electrical connections in precision instruments, though proper insulation techniques should be applied for safety.

3. How should this wire be stored to maintain its properties?

Store in a dry, inert atmosphere (preferably under argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Keep the original packaging sealed until use to avoid contamination from handling or environmental exposure.

4. Is this wire compatible with standard wire cutters?

The hard temper requires sharp, high-quality wire cutters designed for metals. Avoid using dull tools as they may deform the wire edges or leave burrs that could affect performance.

5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring softer aluminum wire?

For applications needing more ductility, consider aluminum wire with an annealed (soft) temper, though this may slightly reduce tensile strength compared to the hard temper offered here.
