Physical and Chemical Properties | aluminum powder is silver-white scaly powder, with excellent hiding power, floating property, opaque to light, reflective ability to ultraviolet rays, heat dissipation effect on heat energy irradiated by sunlight, and good weather resistance, it has excellent corrosion and water resistance properties, and is currently the most widely used metal pigment. Because the aluminum powder is easy to fly and spread, it is very inconvenient to use, and the aluminum silver paste and solvent oil are usually made into aluminum powder slurry. Aluminum powder paste for Paste, generally containing about 65% of aluminum powder. silver-white scaly powder. The relative density was 2.55. Melting point 685 °c. Boiling point 2065 °c. Due to the adsorption of fatty acids on the surface of aluminum powder, aluminum powder is easy to float in the liquid. Flake aluminum powder particles, the ratio of the diameter and thickness of the sheet is about 100:1, and the aluminum powder dispersed in the carrier has the characteristics of parallel with the low material, many particles are connected, the sizes of the particles fill each other to form a continuous metal film, which reflects foreign light and has excellent hiding power. The continuous metal film formed by aluminum powder can be arranged in parallel at multiple levels in the carrier film, cutting off the capillary pores of the film-forming material, thus playing a good shielding role. It has the ability to reflect ultraviolet, infrared and visible light, and has the effect of heat dissipation on sunlight irradiation. Aluminum pigment has a good "two-color effect" characteristics. Good weather resistance. Soluble in acid or alkali, and acid reaction will produce hydrogen. |
Use | Used in paint, ink, fireworks, explosives and other industries, also used as Air entraining agent for porous concrete used in the manufacture of anti-corrosion, anti-rust coatings, high temperature resistant coatings, decorative coatings, because these coatings have good ability to emit light and heat, and good weather resistance, they are widely used for surface coating of oil tanks, storage tanks, ship bottoms and heating equipment. inorganic pigment. Mainly used in the manufacture of anti-rust aluminum paint. It is widely used for anti-rust coating on the surface of chemical equipment. In addition, can also be used for the manufacture of a variety of fireworks, fireworks and pesticide size. |

Toxicity | An element that is abundant (about 8%) in the crust of the earth. Aluminum appears to have no biological function and, from the point of view of acute toxicity, is essentially non-toxic. Because it is primarily eliminated by excretion, people with compromised kidney function may accumulate the metal. In kidney dialysis patients, this is a particular problem because the dialyzing solution may contain high concentrations of aluminum. This condition (dialysis encephalopathy or dialysis dementia) has symptoms that include impaired memory, EEG changes, dementia, aphasia, ataxia, and convulsions.One possible mechanism of toxicity may be inhibition of hexokinases in the brain. The chelating agent deferoxamine has been used successfully in treating this condition.Aluminum is one of the primary toxicants leached into surface water (and, therefore, water supplies) by acid deposition. The connection between aluminum and Alzheimers disease is controversial and many investigators believe there is no connection. |

is a white ductile metal. Melting Point: 660. 37 ℃; Boiling Point: 2467 ℃; Relative density: 102. Soluble in alkali, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, insoluble in water, concentrated nitric acid, hot acetic acid. Good conductor for heat and electricity. It has better conductivity, ductility, reflectivity and corrosion resistance than the original aluminum. The powder and air can form an explosive mixture. When it reaches a certain concentration, an explosion will occur when it encounters Mars. Mixing with an oxidizing agent can form an explosive mixture. With fluorine, chlorine, etc. can occur intense chemical reaction.
with high quality refined aluminum as raw material, high purity aluminum products were prepared by directional solidification and purification. Alternatively, high-purity aluminum is obtained by electrolysis, the anode is an alloy of coarse aluminum and copper, and the cathode is high-purity aluminum. When electrolysis is carried out in an electrolytic bath containing aluminum ions, 99 is precipitated at the cathode. More than 99% of the high purity aluminum, the electrolysis temperature is about 750.
ultra-high purity aluminum has many excellent properties, in the electronic industry, automotive, aerospace, chemical, military and other fields have a wide range of applications. Semiconductor Manufacturing sputtering target materials, superconducting cable stabilization materials, super alloy necessary elements for the manufacture of aluminum mirrors, magnetic suspension material, high-performance wires, integrated circuit bonding wire, optoelectronic storage media, such as CD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, data or Micro disk, DVD silver disk, etc. It is also the blade material of the aerospace engine and the missile launch engine. The use of high purity aluminum in the field of electronic aluminum foil accounts for about 70% of the consumption of high purity aluminum, and other uses account for about 30%.
belongs to the micro toxic class. Long-term inhalation can cause aluminum pneumoconiosis. Keep away from fire and heat source. Protection from direct sunlight. Keep the container sealed. The treatment was operated in nitrogen. Should be stored separately from the oxidant, acid, alkali. Mixed storage and transportation should not be avoided. Should be stored in a clean, ventilated, dry and acid, alkali atmosphere in the warehouse, to prevent product contamination deterioration. Protection against rain and moisture during transportation.
