Sodium Metal in Kerosene Vaseline

Product Code : SCL-LC-12271

The Sodium Metal in Kerosene is a highly reactive alkali metal supplied under a protective medium for supervised chemistry laboratory demonstrations and controlled reagent use. It is suitable only for trained chemistry laboratories, colleges, institutional science departments, distributors, and educational procurement buyers with approved hazardous-chemical handling systems.

Product Description

Sodium Metal in Kerosene / Vaseline from Science Lab Supplies is intended for controlled institutional laboratory use where metallic sodium is required for approved teaching or reagent procedures. The exact pack size, purity, piece form, protective medium, batch number, SDS, COA, shelf life, and transport classification must be confirmed before publication or quotation.

Sodium metal is represented by the symbol Na. It is highly reactive with water and moisture, and unsafe contact can release flammable hydrogen gas and form caustic sodium hydroxide. This page describes laboratory-use sodium metal only. It is not a consumer product and must not be supplied for unsupervised student access.

Key Features

• Reactive alkali metal: suitable for trained laboratory use and approved chemistry demonstrations only.
• Protective medium supply: product name indicates kerosene or Vaseline; exact medium must be confirmed from the final label.
• Formula reference: sodium metal is represented as Na.
• Alkali-metal teaching value: supports lessons on Group 1 metals, metallic reactivity, oxidation, and chemical safety.
• Strict moisture control: must be kept away from water, damp tools, humidity, acids, and incompatible substances.
• Documentation-led procurement: SDS, COA, purity, batch number, and transport documents should be verified before use.
• Restricted institutional use: intended for trained personnel, not open classroom handling or household storage.

How to Use the Sodium Metal in Kerosene / Vaseline

1. Review the current SDS, product label, risk assessment, and institutional SOP before use.
2. Allow only trained laboratory personnel to open or handle the container.
3. Wear suitable PPE, including lab coat, dry chemical-resistant gloves, eye or face protection, and any additional PPE required by the SDS.
4. Work only in an approved area with compatible tools, dry conditions, emergency controls, and teacher or technician supervision.
5. Keep sodium metal fully protected by its approved storage medium except during authorised handling.
6. Use only the minimum quantity specified by the approved procedure.
7. Keep away from water, wet glassware, damp benches, acids, oxidizers, and unknown chemicals.
8. Return storage containers to the approved hazardous-chemical cabinet immediately after authorised use.

Safety note: Sodium Metal in Kerosene / Vaseline is water-reactive and can release flammable gas on contact with water or moisture. Do not handle casually, cut, heat, dispose, demonstrate, or transfer it without a written SOP, trained supervision, and emergency controls.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed under the approved protective medium in a dry, secure, restricted-access chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from water sources, sinks, acids, oxidizers, halogenated solvents, combustible clutter, and unauthorized users.
• Inspect containers periodically for leakage, corrosion, drying of protective medium, or damaged seals.
• Maintain SDS, COA, batch number, pack size, storage-medium details, and transport documents for audit control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sodium Metal in Kerosene used for?

Sodium Metal in Kerosene is used for supervised chemistry demonstrations and approved laboratory procedures involving alkali-metal properties, reactivity, and chemical-safety teaching.

Why is sodium metal stored in kerosene or oil?

Sodium metal is stored under a protective medium to reduce contact with moisture and air. The exact protective medium for this product must be confirmed from the final label.

What is the formula of sodium metal?

The chemical symbol of sodium metal is Na. Its CAS number is 7440-23-5 and its atomic weight is 22.99 g/mol.

Is Sodium Metal in Kerosene hazardous?

Yes. Sodium metal is water-reactive and may release flammable gas on contact with water or moisture. SDS-based handling, trained supervision, and restricted storage are required.

Is it suitable for school chemistry labs?

It is suitable only where the institution permits sodium metal handling and trained staff control the demonstration. It should not be issued for unsupervised student handling.

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, transport, classroom use, or disposal planning.
