Product Name – Silver, 99.9%, (trace metal basis), wire, 0.25 mm diam., 1ea = 10.4gr Quantity/Pack Size – 1EA Form – Wire (0.25mm diameter) Grade – 99.9% (trace metal basis) Application – High-precision lab experiments, conductivity testing, corrosion studies
Product Overview
This 99.9% pure silver wire is engineered for laboratory applications demanding exceptional conductivity, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. The 0.25mm diameter ensures precision in delicate procedures, while the trace metal basis guarantees minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical work. Silver’s inherent properties—such as high electrical and thermal conductivity—make it indispensable in experiments requiring reliable signal transmission or heat dissipation. The wire’s uniform composition and consistent diameter reduce variability in results, ensuring reproducibility across tests. Its malleability allows for easy shaping or cutting without compromising structural integrity. Whether used in electrochemical studies, material science research, or as a reference standard, this silver wire delivers performance without contamination risks. The single-unit packaging (10.4g) provides sufficient material for most small-scale applications while minimizing waste. Store in a dry, inert environment to prevent oxidation and maintain purity over time.
FAQs
1. What is the exact purity level of this silver wire?
The wire is 99.9% pure on a trace metal basis, ensuring minimal impurities for accurate lab results.
2. Can this wire be used for high-temperature applications?
Silver has a melting point of 961°C, making it suitable for moderate to high-temperature experiments, though prolonged exposure to extreme heat may affect its properties.
3. Is this wire compatible with standard lab connectors?
The 0.25mm diameter is designed for precision work and may require adapters or soldering for compatibility with larger connectors.
4. How should I store this silver wire to prevent tarnishing?
Store in an airtight container with desiccants or in a vacuum-sealed bag to minimize exposure to sulfur or moisture, which can cause tarnishing.
5. Are there alternatives for experiments requiring lower conductivity?
Copper or nickel wires are common alternatives, though they offer different conductivity and corrosion resistance profiles compared to silver.
