Steel Powder, Iron Powder, Mesh 100

Coarse steel powder, mesh 100, is produced from recycled black steel (construction steel). It demonstrates strong magnetic attraction, a high flow rate for dispensing from shakers, and freedom from organic impurities such as cutting oils. This versatile iron powder is clean and preferred by educators for use in science experiments. It is also widely used for creating rust effects in sculptures, concrete, and structures, as well as serving as a source of iron as a plant nutrient.
