Properties, Storage & Cautions
Magnesium nanopowder is highly reactive and flammable, especially in finely divided form. Avoid heat, sparks, and open flames. Store in a tightly sealed container under inert atmosphere or vacuum, in a cool, dry place. Prevent exposure to air and moisture to avoid oxidation.
Applications
Lightweight structural materials in aerospace and automotive industries.
Pyrotechnics & fireworks due to bright white light emission on burning.
Metallurgy: Alloying agent for aluminum, titanium, and other light alloys.
Chemical production: Reducing agent in organic synthesis and production of specialty chemicals.
Energy storage: Potential use in hydrogen storage materials.
