Magnesium powder (0–2 mm) is a highly reactive, silvery-gray metal used in pyrotechnics, fireworks, and as a reducing agent in chemical synthesis. Its rapid combustion makes it essential for flare compositions and metallurgical applications. This product has a CAS number of 7439-95-4, a molecular weight of 24.3 g/mol, and requires ambient storage with strict handling due to its flammability. The signal word is Danger, indicating severe hazards if improperly managed. Molekula supplies Magnesium Powder 0–2 mm from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
