Product Overview
Potassium metal (98% purity) is a highly reactive alkali metal that is safely stored and handled when suspended in liquid paraffin. This formulation ensures stability and prevents oxidation, making it ideal for laboratory use. The metal is essential in various chemical reactions, metallurgical processes, and educational demonstrations. Its high purity ensures reliable results in experiments requiring precise chemical properties. The liquid paraffin acts as an inert medium, allowing for safe storage and controlled reactions. Researchers and educators rely on this formulation for its consistency and ease of use in controlled environments. The product is packaged in sealed containers to maintain its integrity and prevent contamination. Its reactive nature makes it a valuable reagent in both academic and industrial settings, particularly where controlled reactivity is required.
