General description

Manganese powder is a free-flowing, brown to black powder with a high melting point (1244 °C) and exceptional resistance to corrosion and abrasion. Our high-purity manganese powder (≥99.9%) is a reliable and valuable material for various industrial and academic applications. The ability of manganese to exist in multiple oxidation states allows it to act as a redox mediator, facilitating electron transfer between reactants and products. This makes it an effective catalyst in a wide range of chemical reactions, including the oxidation of alcohols and the removal of pollutants from industrial emissions.

Application

Manganese powder is a cost effective alloying element with a high hardenability.[1] It is majorly used in powder metallurgy applications such as:
  • a starting material for the preparation of manganese oxide for lithium ion batteries[2]
  • a material used in surface alloying[3]
  • sintering of steel to form manganese steel[1]

Features and Benefits

Our 99.9% pure manganese powder is useful in powder metallurgical and chemical industries where purity matters most.
✔ Consistent quality
✔ High purity
✔ Available to scale up: bulk and pilot scale

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
