General

What are Iron Metal Filings? They are very small pieces of iron that look like a powder with a dark-grey appearance. Iron filings can be obtained from metal working operations as the scrap material filed off larger iron and steel parts. They are very often used in science demonstrations to show the direction of a magnetic field.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Iron Metal Filings, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.

Frequent Uses

Educational
Frequently used in schools and science demonstrations to reveal and study magnetic field lines around magnets.

Metalwork
Used in various metalworking processes, such as creating textured surfaces, improving coating adhesion, and as a component in some alloys.

Construction
Occasionally used as a component in concrete mixtures.

Filtration Systems
Can be used in filtration systems to remove impurities from liquids or gases.

Cleaning
Can be used as blast media in blast cleaning applications.

Catalysts
Acts as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions, particularly those involving oxidation-reduction processes. They are often used as a heterogeneous catalyst, meaning the catalyst is in a different phase (solid) than the reactants (often liquids or gases). A key aspect of iron's catalytic activity is its ability to be oxidised and reduced, facilitating electron transfer in the reaction. The effectiveness of iron filings as a catalyst is influenced by their large surface area.
