Description

Discover the versatile world of magnesium with our high-purity 99.95% magnesium ribbon.

Magnesium is a lightweight, silvery-white metal that burns with a brilliant, intense white flame when ignited - one of the most visually striking reactions in chemistry. It's a staple of science classrooms and maker workshops worldwide.

This 25g roll of magnesium ribbon is perfect for educators, hobbyists, survivalists, and science enthusiasts alike. Magnesium is one of the lightest structural metals, with a density of just 1.74 g/cm³ - roughly two-thirds the density of aluminium.

The ribbon is supplied in a coiled roll and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent oxidation.

Key Features

High Purity: 99.95% pure magnesium for reliable, consistent results.
Quantity: 25g+ roll of ribbon for multiple uses and demonstrations.
Brilliant Combustion: Burns with an intense white flame, ideal for demonstrating exothermic reactions.
Lightweight: One of the lightest metals available, with a density of just 1.74 g/cm³.
Easy to Use: Ribbon format is simple to cut to any desired length.

Applications

Educational Tool: A classic for demonstrating combustion, oxidation, and exothermic reactions in the classroom.
Fire Starting: A reliable and effective fire starter for camping, survival kits, and emergency preparedness.
Thermite and Pyrotechnics: Commonly used as an ignition source for thermite reactions and in the production of flares and fireworks.
Scientific Research: Used in a range of chemistry experiments and as a reducing agent.

Please Note

Magnesium ribbon burns at extremely high temperatures (~2,200°C) and produces an intensely bright light - never look directly at the flame.
Use in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials. Store in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Handle responsibly and in accordance with local regulations.
