Brilliant Blue FCF (Blue 1) 50 pounds

Brilliant blue FCF (Blue 1) is a synthetic organic compound used primarily as a blue colorant for processed foods, medications, dietary supplements, and cosmetics. It is classified as a triarylmethane dye and is known under various names, such as FD&C Blue No. 1 or acid blue 9. It is denoted by E number E133 and has a color index of 42090. It has the appearance of a blue powder and is soluble in water and glycerol, with a maximum absorption at about 628 nanometers. It is one of the oldest FDA-approved color additives and is generally considered nontoxic and safe.

Key Features:

• Synthetic organic compound
• Used primarily as a blue colorant

Caution: Brilliant blue FCF is generally considered nontoxic and safe, but caution should be exercised when handling the powder or when using it in high concentrations.

Iron Powder, Micronized, Light

Micronized low-density iron powder is by far the finest grade of iron powder that has ever been made. It consists of irregular and flake particles as small as 5 microns. This product is an electronic grade high purity iron dust; however, very fine particles tend to oxidize easier. In most cases about 2 to 3 percent of this product is oxidized on the surface during the grinding and packaging process.

Product Specifications

Applications and Benefits:

• Chemical reactions
• Filler metals for plastic or epoxy compounds
• Mirror backing
• High-density P/M parts
• Carrier for photocopy toners
• Matrix metal for diamond bonding
• Ferromagnetic applications
• Fingerprinting powders
• Magnetic inks and paints

Caution:

Fine iron dust in air can form an explosive mixture. Avoid dust. Avoid inhalation. Use a mask and protective clothing while handling.

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.

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP)

Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP) is a white powder available in food grade or FCC and technical NSF grade. It is widely used as a sequestrant, food additive, water softener, detergent ingredient, and dispersing agent for breaking down clays and other soil types. The product is completely soluble in water in all proportions but insoluble in organic solvents.

Product Specifications

Applications and Benefits:

• Sequestrant in food and beverage applications
• Water softening for industrial and domestic uses
• Dispersing agent for clays and pigments
• Pretanning hides in leather manufacture
• Corrosion prevention in water systems
• Textile processing and laundering

Caution:

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to moisture and organic solvents.

Titanium Dioxide, Fcc, 99.9% Min

Titanium Dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral that is used in a variety of applications. Our FCC grade Titanium Dioxide has a purity of 99.9% minimum, making it ideal for use in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products. Its high refractive index and opacity make it a popular choice for use as a white pigment in paints, coatings, and plastics.
