General description

Our high-purity magnesium chips, also called magnesium turnings or granules, are a form of elemental magnesium metal produced by mechanically processing ultra-high-purity magnesium ingots. The process yields material that is 0.5-3.5 mm in size. High-purity magnesium chips are commonly used as a reductant in Grignard reactions for specialty chemical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural applications. Magnesium chips are also used in the preparation of magnesium alloys, which offer a unique combination of light weight, strength, and corrosion resistance.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. Do you have an image of the actual particles you can share with us? We need to know if these will be suitable.

    1 answer
    1. Particle size is confirmed via sieving. No testing that would yield an image of the particles is carried out.

      Helpful?

  2. 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
