Product Description
Magnesium turnings with 99.9% purity (trace metal basis) are a versatile and essential reagent for laboratories across India. Whether you’re a student conducting experiments, a researcher developing new materials, or an educator demonstrating chemical reactions, this high-grade magnesium ensures reliable results every time.
Magnesium is a lightweight, silvery-white metal known for its reactivity and wide range of applications. In its turning form, it offers a larger surface area, making it ideal for reactions requiring rapid dissolution or combustion. This product is meticulously processed to remove impurities, ensuring consistency in performance for critical lab work.
Common uses include organic synthesis, Grignard reagent preparation, and pyrotechnic studies. Its high purity makes it suitable for analytical chemistry, where trace metal contamination could skew results. For educational settings, magnesium turnings provide a safe yet effective way to teach fundamental concepts like oxidation-reduction reactions.
When handling magnesium turnings, always follow standard lab safety protocols. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and oxidizing agents. For bulk purchases, eqipped offers competitive pricing and reliable delivery to labs, universities, and research institutions nationwide.

FAQs
What is the difference between magnesium turnings and magnesium ribbon?
Magnesium turnings are small, thin shavings with a larger surface area, making them ideal for rapid reactions. Magnesium ribbon is a continuous strip, often used for slower, controlled reactions like demonstrations. Turnings are preferred in research labs for their efficiency.
Can I use this magnesium for Grignard reactions?
Yes, this 99.9% pure magnesium is suitable for Grignard reactions. Its high purity minimizes side reactions, and the turning form ensures quick activation with alkyl halides. Always dry the magnesium thoroughly before use to avoid unwanted byproducts.
How should I store magnesium turnings to prevent oxidation?
Store magnesium turnings in an airtight container with a desiccant to absorb moisture. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, consider using an inert gas like argon to further reduce oxidation risk.
Is this product suitable for educational lab experiments?
Absolutely. The high purity and consistent quality make it safe and reliable for classroom demonstrations. Its reactivity with acids and combustion properties are commonly used to teach fundamental chemistry concepts.
What pack sizes are available for purchase?
eqipped offers magnesium turnings in 500GR, 2.5KG, and 10KG pack sizes. Choose the quantity that best fits your lab’s needs, whether for small-scale experiments or bulk research projects.
