Product Name – Magnesium oxide, Puratronic™, 99.995% (metals basis) Quantity/Pack Size – 250g, 50g, 10g Form – Powder Grade – Puratronic™ (99.995% metals basis) Application – High-precision lab synthesis, catalysis, advanced materials research
Product Overview
This Puratronic™ grade magnesium oxide delivers exceptional 99.995% purity (metals basis), making it an indispensable choice for demanding laboratory applications where trace impurities can compromise results. The ultra-fine powder form ensures uniform dispersion and reactivity, while the rigorous purification process eliminates metallic contaminants that could interfere with sensitive analyses. Its high thermal stability and chemical inertness make it particularly valuable in high-temperature processes, including ceramic formulations and catalytic systems. The material’s consistent particle size distribution enhances reproducibility in experimental protocols, while its low moisture content prevents unwanted reactions during storage or handling. Unlike standard grades, this Puratronic™ version undergoes additional purification steps to remove alkaline and heavy metal impurities, resulting in a product that meets the most stringent specifications for advanced materials research. The powder’s free-flowing nature facilitates precise weighing and mixing, while its white color serves as a visual indicator of purity. This grade is specifically processed to minimize surface area variations that could affect reaction kinetics in catalytic applications.
FAQs
1. How does the Puratronic™ grade differ from standard magnesium oxide?
The Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.995% purity with significantly lower trace metal content compared to standard grades, which typically contain higher levels of iron, calcium, and other metallic impurities that can interfere with sensitive applications.
2. What is the typical particle size range for this magnesium oxide powder?
While exact particle size distribution may vary slightly between batches, this grade generally maintains a consistent micron-range particle size optimized for uniform dispersion in most laboratory applications without requiring additional milling.
3. Can this product be used in food or pharmaceutical applications?
This specific grade is not certified for food, pharmaceutical, or medical use as it’s optimized for laboratory and industrial research applications where different purity standards and regulatory requirements apply.
4. What precautions should be taken when handling this high-purity magnesium oxide?
Despite its chemical stability, always handle in a well-ventilated area using appropriate PPE to prevent inhalation of fine particles, and store in tightly sealed containers to maintain purity by preventing moisture absorption from ambient air.
5. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity specifications?
Store in original packaging or airtight containers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture sources, as the hygroscopic nature of magnesium oxide can lead to gradual degradation of purity if exposed to humid environments over extended periods.
