Magnesium Granules are small, irregularly shaped particles of magnesium metal, often used for their high reactivity and lightweight properties. These granules find applications in chemical reactions, pyrotechnics, metallurgy, and research, where controlled reaction rates and surface area are essential.
Formula: Mg
Atomic Number: 12
Appearance: Magnesium granules appear as shiny, metallic particles with a silver-gray color.
Size: Typically available in sizes ranging from fine grains (microns) to larger granules, depending on the application.
Density: Around 1.74 g/cm³, making magnesium one of the lightest metallic materials.
Melting Point: Approximately 650°C (1,202°F), which allows it to melt relatively easily compared to other metals.
Pyrotechnics and Fireworks: Magnesium granules are used to produce bright, intense white sparks in fireworks and flares.
Chemical Reactions: In laboratories, they are commonly used as a reducing agent in reactions, where they donate electrons to other elements or compounds.
Metallurgy: Magnesium granules are used to remove sulfur impurities from molten iron and steel and to improve the properties of aluminum alloys.
Hydrogen Production: Reacting magnesium with water, particularly in acidic or hot conditions, can produce hydrogen gas, useful in research and chemical production.
Flammable: Magnesium granules can ignite easily, especially in fine particle form. They should be kept away from heat sources, flames, and sparks.
Storage: Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry place, away from oxidizers and moisture, which can induce corrosion or ignite the material.
Handling Precautions: Use protective gear to prevent skin contact and avoid inhaling any dust generated by handling, as fine magnesium particles can be hazardous.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
