Product Description
When you need reliable red phosphorus for your laboratory experiments, this LR grade product from Avantor delivers consistent performance. Red phosphorus is the more stable allotrope of phosphorus, making it safer for handling in educational and research settings compared to white phosphorus. This 1 kg pack provides ample quantity for multiple experiments while maintaining high purity standards.
The LR grade designation ensures this red phosphorus meets laboratory reagent specifications, suitable for qualitative analysis and general lab applications. Unlike its white counterpart, red phosphorus doesn’t spontaneously ignite in air, though proper handling precautions should still be observed. Its non-toxic nature makes it particularly valuable for student laboratories and teaching demonstrations.
Common applications include organic synthesis, preparation of phosphoric acid, and as a reducing agent in various chemical reactions. The powder form allows for easy measurement and dispersion in solutions. For researchers working on pyrotechnics or safety matches, this product serves as an essential raw material while maintaining laboratory safety standards.
