Iron Metal Powder Lab

Product Code : SCL-LC-12186

The Iron Metal Powder Lab Reagent is a powdered iron material used in supervised chemistry and physics laboratories for magnetism, metal reactivity, separation and materials-science demonstrations. It is suitable for schools, colleges, universities, STEM labs, chemistry labs, physics practical rooms, distributors and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

Iron Metal Powder from Science Lab Supplies is positioned as a laboratory metal reagent and demonstration material for controlled institutional use. The Science Lab Supplies chemistry-lab listing shows “Metal Filings/Powder” with a stated capacity of 300 gr, but the final SKU, pack size, particle size, purity, reduced/electrolytic form, SDS and Certificate of Analysis must be verified before publication.

Iron powder is elemental iron in fine particle form. It is useful for showing magnetic attraction, magnetic separation and selected metal-behaviour demonstrations. Because fine metal powders can create dust and fire hazards, it must be handled more carefully than larger iron filings or turnings.

Key Features

• Defined material identity: iron metal powder, chemical symbol Fe.
• Laboratory demonstration use: suitable for magnetism, separation and metal-property studies.
• Listed capacity reference: 300 g listed for Science Lab Supplies Metal Filings/Powder 
• Particle size to confirm: mesh, powder grade and dustiness must be checked from the final COA.
• Purity to confirm: do not claim reduced iron, electrolytic iron or high-purity iron without documentation.
• SDS-led handling: fine iron powder may present dust and flammability hazards.
• Reusable in dry work: clean powder from non-chemical magnetism demonstrations may be stored for reuse if uncontaminated.

How to Use the Iron Metal Powder

1. Verify the label, pack size, particle size, batch number and SDS before use.
2. Wear eye protection, gloves and a lab coat.
3. Keep the powder away from flames, sparks, hot surfaces, oxidisers and moisture.
4. Use a clean, dry spatula to dispense only the required amount.
5. For magnetism demonstrations, place the powder on paper or a clear sheet above the magnet.
6. Tap gently to observe magnetic attraction or field-pattern behaviour.
7. Collect clean, dry powder only if reuse is permitted by the teacher or lab supervisor.
8. Dispose of contaminated powder according to laboratory waste rules.

Safety note: Avoid dust formation, inhalation, ingestion and eye contact. Fine iron powder may be flammable or reactive under certain conditions. Do not use near ignition sources, acids, strong oxidisers or unauthorised electrical equipment.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a dry, clearly labelled container.
• Protect from moisture to reduce oxidation, rusting and clumping.
• Use clean, dry tools to prevent cross-contamination.
• Do not use if the powder is wet, heavily rusted, contaminated or mixed with unknown particles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Iron Metal Powder Lab Reagent used for?

Iron Metal Powder Lab Reagent is used in supervised chemistry and physics laboratories for magnetism, magnetic separation, metal-property demonstrations and selected approved reaction studies.

Is iron metal powder magnetic?

Yes. Iron powder is attracted to magnets and can be used to demonstrate magnetic attraction and particle movement in a magnetic field.

What is the CAS number of iron powder?

Iron powder is commonly associated with elemental iron CAS 7439-89-6. Confirm the CAS number from the final product SDS before publication.

What pack size is available?

Science Lab Supplies lists 300 g for Metal Filings/Powder. Confirm that this same capacity applies to Iron Metal Powder before publishing.

Is iron powder safe for school use?

It is suitable only for supervised school laboratory use with eye protection, dust control and dry storage. Students should not inhale, ingest or handle the powder without supervision.

Can iron metal powder catch fire?

Fine iron powder can present flammability or dust hazards under certain conditions. Keep it away from flames, sparks, oxidisers, acids, moisture and heat sources.
