Steel Powder, Iron Powder, 250 Micron

Coarse steel powder (S100N) is produced from recycled black steel (construction steel) with improved features like dust-free, equal-size, and mostly spherical particles. It demonstrates strong magnetic attraction, has a high flow rate for dispensing from shakers, and is free from organic impurities such as cutting oil. This product is ideal for educational and industrial applications, including magnetism experiments, rust effect creation, and as a plant nutrient for iron supplementation.

Specifications

Applications and Benefits:

• Used as iron filings for magnetism and electromagnetism experiments
• Preferred for educational use due to cleanliness and contamination-free particles
• Creates rust effects in sculptures, concrete, and structures
• Serves as a plant nutrient for iron supplementation
• High flow rate makes it suitable for dispensing from shakers

Caution:

This product may rust over time due to its recycled steel composition. Handle with care and review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for safety precautions.

MicroShield Fine Control 100

MicroShield Fine Control 100 is engineered to deliver a precise, non-lethal particle dispersion, using high-quality, 100 mesh iron pellets. Each pellet generates minimal impact, creating heat bursts and noise that effectively support wildlife control and safe training exercises. Made from recycled black construction steel, these coarse particles have a high flow rate suitable for dispensing from a shaker. The material is magnetically responsive and rusts naturally over time, making it ideal for environmental science experiments, art installations, and even plant nutrient applications.

The S100N model is an upgraded version, free of dust and with uniform, spherical particles. This premium composition makes it popular in educational settings, particularly in magnetism or electromagnetism experiments, as it is devoid of cutting oils and contaminants. This steel powder's chemical analysis ensures its purity and stability, with specific concentrations of carbon, manganese, and silicon to maintain consistent performance.

Key Features

• 100 mesh iron pellets for minimal impact dispersion
• Safe, non-lethal applications for wildlife and training
• High flow rate for controlled distribution from shakers
• Recycled construction steel; rusts naturally
• Dust-free, uniform, spherical particle design in S100N model
• Versatile in education, art, and plant nutrient uses

Product Specifications

Here’s an table with suggested deterrent loads for several common shotgun gauges (12, 16, 20, and 28) using fine iron particles (100 mesh) for bird deterrent purposes. These configurations are generalized for typical effective ranges and use a combination of lower powder loads to create a wide, non-lethal dispersal pattern that is suitable for scaring birds.

Bird Deterrent Loads Using Iron Particles (100 Mesh) Across Various Gauges

Notes on Each Gauge:

1. 12 Gauge: Best suited for moderate to heavy deterrent loads due to its higher capacity for both powder and particle loads, making it effective at longer ranges.
2. 16 Gauge: A versatile option that offers a good balance between spread and range. Common in European hunting and bird deterrent contexts.
3. 20 Gauge: Known for being lighter and easier to handle, making it suitable for closer-range deterrent applications.
4. 28 Gauge: Ideal for short-range deterrent due to its lower recoil and capacity, typically for distances under 30 meters.

Important Considerations

• Testing and Customization: Load performance can vary based on powder type, shell type, and even environmental conditions. Testing in a controlled environment is essential.
• Safety First: Always consult a reloading manual and verify with experts, especially when using alternative materials like fine iron particles.

This table serves as a starting point; precise adjustments may be necessary depending on the equipment and specific needs. For more details on load specifications, consult reputable reloading sources or professional guidance.

Lead Metal Wire, 5 Foot Coil

This lead (Pb) wire has a 1/8" diameter and is 5 feet long. Lead is a soft, heavy metal with a dull gray appearance that tarnishes when exposed to air. Freshly cut lead has a bluish-white luster. Highly malleable and ductile, lead is resistant to corrosion and has been used in pipes and containers for corrosive liquids like sulfuric acid. It is ideal for experimentation, practical use, or as a unique addition to a metal collection.

Product Specifications

Applications and Benefits:

• Experimentation and practical use
• Metal collection
• Containers for corrosive liquids
• Demonstration of malleability and ductility

Additional Information:

Lead metal is highly resistant to corrosion and has been historically used for pipes and containers. Handle with care due to its toxic nature. For further details, download the Safety Data Sheet.
