Magnesium turnings 99.5% 2-5 mm 1 g

2-5 mm
Magnesium turnings are a versatile and highly reactive form of magnesium metal, commonly used in various industrial applications. With their fine particle size and high surface area, magnesium turnings offer excellent reactivity and are often employed in chemical reactions, pyrotechnics, and as reducing agents. Their unique properties make them a valuable resource in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and pharmaceuticals.
When working with magnesium turnings, it is important to follow safety precautions to prevent accidents and ensure personal safety. Here are some short safety instructions to keep in mind: 1. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat or protective clothing. 2. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to prevent the accumulation of flammable gases. 3. Keep a Class D fire extinguisher nearby in case of a magnesium fire. 4. Do not use water to extinguish a magnesium fire as it can react violently and intensify the fire. Use a dry powder extinguisher or sand instead. 5. Avoid contact with moisture or water as magnesium reacts vigorously with them, producing flammable hydrogen gas. 6. Store magnesium turnings in a tightly sealed container away from sources of ignition, heat, and moisture. 7. Do not grind or cut magnesium turnings as this can create fine particles that are highly flammable and can ignite easily. 8. Use non-sparking tools and equipment when handling magnesium turnings to minimize the risk of ignition. 9. Do not inhale or ingest magnesium turnings as they can cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation. 10. In case of accidental ingestion or inhalation, seek medical attention immediately. Remember, magnesium turnings are highly reactive and can pose serious safety hazards if not handled properly. Always exercise caution and follow proper safety procedures when working with this material.
