Product Overview

This 99.5% pure electrolytic iron metal powder is engineered for high-performance laboratory applications where particle consistency and purity are critical. The powder undergoes rigorous electrolytic refining to eliminate impurities, ensuring uniform composition and reactivity. Its fine particle size distribution enhances surface area, making it particularly effective in catalytic reactions, magnetic studies, and metallurgical processes. The electrolytic grade designation confirms its suitability for applications requiring minimal trace element contamination. Unlike mechanically processed iron powders, this product maintains superior flow characteristics and oxidation resistance, preserving its integrity during storage and handling. The powder?s high purity also reduces variability in experimental results, providing researchers with reliable and reproducible outcomes. Packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, it retains its properties over extended periods. Whether used as a reagent, substrate, or raw material, this iron powder delivers consistent performance in demanding laboratory environments.

FAQs

1. What is the particle size range of this electrolytic iron powder?

The powder typically features a particle size distribution between 45-150 microns, optimized for uniform dispersion in most applications.

2. Can this powder be used in high-temperature applications without degradation?

Yes, the electrolytic grade ensures thermal stability up to 800?C, though oxidation may occur in oxygen-rich environments above 400?C.

3. How does electrolytic iron powder differ from reduced iron powder?

Electrolytic iron undergoes electrochemical refining for higher purity (99.5%), while reduced iron is produced via hydrogen reduction and may contain more trace impurities.

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

Store in a cool, dry place with the original container tightly sealed. Use desiccants if opening frequently to prevent moisture absorption.

5. Is this powder compatible with standard laboratory sieving equipment?

The fine particle size makes it suitable for most 100-200 mesh sieves, though electrostatic charges may require grounding during handling.
