00834 00500 is referred as IRON (metal) POWDER under Research Lab Fine Chem Industries catalogue.00834 00500 Iron powder comprises of many iron particles having sizes anywhere between 20-200 micrometres. Iron is a metal with an atomic number of 26. It is the most commonly available element on Earth by mass. It exists in many oxidation states from -2 to +7 with +2 and +3 states being the most common. Iron oxidizes in air to give hydrated oxides commonly known as rust which occupies more volume than the metal and then gets removed as flakes exposing the fresh surfaces to corrosion.

There are three of types of iron powders: reduced, atomized and electrolyte. Iron powders are mainly used in automobiles and chemical industries. In the automobile industry they are used in engine parts, steering parts, suspensions, seat, door parts, transmission parts and brake parts. It is also used in hand warmers, bearing and filter parts, magnetic materials and friction parts. In the chemical industry it is used as industrial catalysis, as an additive in polymers, for removing sulphur from gasified fuels, to increase conductivity and weight, in magnetic paints, in food packaging and in water purification system
