Product Overview

This Puratronic™ aluminum wire delivers unmatched purity at 99.9995% (metals basis), making it an essential component for laboratories where trace impurities can compromise results. The 1.0mm (0.04in) diameter wire is annealed for enhanced flexibility and uniform conductivity, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive applications. Its ultra-low impurity profile minimizes interference in analytical procedures, while the high thermal and electrical conductivity properties support reliable data collection. The wire’s uniform cross-section and smooth surface reduce variability in experimental setups, providing researchers with dependable material for repeatable outcomes. Available in multiple lengths (5m, 25m, 100m), this wire is packaged to prevent oxidation and contamination, preserving its high-purity characteristics until use. Whether for thermal testing, electrical connections, or as a reference material, its Puratronic™ certification guarantees adherence to stringent quality standards, eliminating concerns about batch-to-batch inconsistency.

FAQs

1. What is the significance of the 99.9995% purity level in this aluminum wire?

The 99.9995% purity ensures minimal trace element contamination, which is critical for applications where even ppm-level impurities could skew results, such as in semiconductor research or high-precision electrical testing. This grade is among the highest available for aluminum, reducing experimental noise.

2. Can this wire be used for high-temperature applications without degradation?

Annealed aluminum wire retains structural integrity up to ~200°C, but prolonged exposure above this may soften the material. For short-term high-temperature use (e.g., thermal conductivity tests), it performs reliably, though oxidation resistance should be considered in open-air environments.

3. How does the annealed condition affect the wire’s performance compared to non-annealed?

Annealing removes internal stresses, improving ductility and electrical conductivity while reducing brittleness. This makes the wire easier to shape and less prone to breakage during handling, unlike non-annealed wire, which may exhibit micro-cracks under stress.

4. Is this wire compatible with standard lab connectors or clamps?

Yes, the 1.0mm diameter is designed to fit most laboratory alligator clips, banana plugs, and terminal blocks without requiring adaptation. Its uniform gauge ensures secure connections, minimizing contact resistance in electrical circuits.

5. What precautions should be taken during storage to maintain its purity?

Store the wire in its original sealed packaging or an airtight container with desiccants to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Avoid exposure to corrosive gases or direct sunlight, as these can degrade the surface purity over time.
