Magnesium (Mg) is a light, moderately hard, silvery-white metal that ignites easily in the air and burns with a bright light. It is strong, has good heat dissipation and dampening, and is easy to weld, forge, cast or machine. It can improve the mechanical, fabrication, and welding characteristics when used as an alloying agent since it has a low density and is the lightest structural metal (a third lighter than aluminum). It also has good electrical properties. Magnesium turnings and chips are produced by milling commercial and high-purity magnesium, keeping size under control to obtain the desired specific surface and reactivity. They are silver-white. initially, but can turn to a dark gray if stored improperly. Purity: Standard purity (99.8% Mg) Ultra-high purity (99.98% Mg)

Solder is a versatile metal alloy used for joining or repairing metal components in various industries, including electronics, plumbing, and jewelry making. Made from a combination of metals such as lead, tin, and copper, solder has a low melting point, making it easy to use in various applications. Solder comes in various forms, each with unique properties, making it ideal for specific applications. Regardless of the form, solder is easy to work with and provides a durable bond. Solder also has good electrical conductivity, making it an ideal choice for electrical applications.

Zinc formaldehyde sulfoxylate (ZnC₂H₄O₆S₂), also known as zinc formaldehyde sulfoxylate monohydrate, is a white crystalline powder that is a strong reducing agent that can effectively reduce a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. Zinc formaldehyde sulfoxylate is considered a safe and effective reducing agent for industrial use. However, it can be potentially hazardous if not handled or stored properly.

Sodium lignosulfonate is a natural, biodegradable material, brownish-yellow powder or liquid. It is produced from the sulfite pulping process of wood. Sodium lignosulfonate is a versatile and widely used material in various industrial applications due to its dispersant, binding, and emulsifying properties. Its natural and biodegradable nature makes it an attractive alternative to synthetic chemicals. In contrast, its ability to improve the performance and quality of products makes it a valuable additive in many industries.

Zirconium (III) nitride (ZrN) is a golden-yellow colored ceramic with high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The coating can be applied to various materials, including metals, ceramics, and plastics, to enhance durability and reduce surface wear and tear. Typical Purity 99.5%

Tungsten (IV) Sulfide, WS₂, or Tungsten Disulfide, is a grayish-black powder that has a low friction coefficient and high load-bearing capacity making it popular as a solid lubricant. It also offers durability, wear resistance, and excellent electrical conductivity and thermal stability. It can also be added to composites to enhance strength and stiffness.

Titanium nitride (TiN) is a hard, wear-resistant ceramic coating material with a gold color and a crystalline structure. Titanium nitride has high hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance.

Potassium nitrate, KNO₃, also known as saltpeter, is a white crystalline substance that is a strong oxidizer. Reade offers 4 grades of Potassium Nitrate powder.
