Aluminium Metal

Product Code : SCL-LC-12274

The Aluminium Metal lab chemical is an elemental metal reagent used for supervised chemistry experiments involving metal reactivity, displacement reactions, oxidation, physical properties, and inorganic chemistry demonstrations. It is suitable for schools, colleges, chemistry laboratories, science departments, institutional tenders, distributors, and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

Aluminium Metal from Science Lab Supplies is intended for controlled educational and laboratory use where elemental aluminium is required for approved practical work. The exact grade, purity, pack size, physical form, particle size, batch number, shelf life, SDS, COA, and regulatory documents must be confirmed before final publication or quotation.

Aluminium metal is represented by the chemical symbol Al. In teaching laboratories, it can support demonstrations on metals, oxidation, displacement reactions, corrosion resistance, density, conductivity, and comparative reactivity where the syllabus, SOP, and SDS permit. This page describes laboratory-use aluminium only, not construction, food-contact, industrial alloy, or consumer-use material.

Key Features

• Elemental metal reagent: suitable for supervised chemistry teaching and approved laboratory demonstrations.
• Formula reference: aluminium metal is represented by the chemical symbol Al.
• Teaching-lab relevance: useful for lessons on metal properties, oxidation, reactivity series, and displacement reactions.
• Physical-form flexibility: final form may be foil, strip, granules, turnings, powder, or pieces; verify before listing.
• Pack size verification: supplied quantity and container type must be confirmed from the final quotation.
• Documentation-led procurement: SDS, COA, purity, batch number, and shelf-life details should be verified before use.
• Controlled laboratory use: fine powder or dust forms require stricter ignition and dust-control precautions.

How to Use the Aluminium Metal

1. Read the current SDS, product label, and institutional risk assessment before use.
2. Confirm the supplied physical form, grade, purity, and quantity before issuing for practical work.
3. Wear suitable PPE, including lab coat, gloves, and eye protection.
4. Use only the amount required by the approved laboratory procedure.
5. Handle foil, pieces, strips, or turnings with clean tools to avoid contamination.
6. If supplied as powder, avoid dust clouds, ignition sources, open flames, and uncontrolled mixing.
7. Label all prepared samples or reaction setups with chemical name, quantity, date, and safety notes.
8. Dispose of residues according to institutional chemical-waste rules.

Safety note: Use Aluminium Metal only in supervised laboratory procedures. Do not inhale dust, heat uncontrolled quantities, mix with unknown oxidizers, create airborne powder, or use fine powder forms without SDS-based ignition and dust-control precautions.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from moisture, strong oxidizers, acids, incompatible materials, and unlabelled containers.
• Use clean, dry tools and avoid returning contaminated material to the original pack.
• Maintain SDS, COA, batch number, physical form, pack size, and shelf-life records for audit control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Aluminium Metal used for in a laboratory?

Aluminium Metal is used for supervised chemistry demonstrations involving metal properties, oxidation, displacement reactions, reactivity series, conductivity, and inorganic chemistry teaching.

What is the formula of Aluminium Metal?

The chemical symbol of Aluminium Metal is Al. Its CAS number is 7429-90-5 and its atomic weight is approximately 27.0 g/mol.

What form is supplied?

The supplied form is not confirmed. Add foil, strip, powder, granules, turnings, pieces, or wire only after verifying the final product label or quotation.

Is Aluminium Metal hazardous?

Bulk aluminium metal is commonly handled in laboratories, but fine powder or dust forms may present fire or dust-exposure risks. Always follow the current SDS and institutional safety controls.

Is it suitable for school chemistry labs?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised school and college chemistry laboratories when handled by trained users under approved practical procedures and SDS-based safety guidance.

Does it include SDS or COA?

SDS and COA availability must be confirmed for the final supply. These documents should be requested before procurement, storage, classroom use, transport, or disposal planning.
