Magnesium wire ribbon form.

General description:

Magnesium wire is silver colored, very light and really quite reactive. It will react steadily with diluted acids and release hydrogen gas; it will also ignite whilst it is heated in air, emitting a quite brilliant white glow. This pyrotechnic material is usually supplied in a coiled ribbon form. In this form, the metal has an increased surface area and can be efficiently ignited and used in chemical reactions.

It tarnishes slightly in air, and finely divided magnesium readily ignites upon heating in air and burns with a dazzling white flame.

Melting point: 650 °C

Boiling point: 1090 °C

CAS No: 7439-95-4

Chemical composition: Mg 99.90% min

Main application:

Magnesium wire is one of the most common ways to ignite chemical reactions that require a higher temperature to ignite. It is used in pyrotechnics to produce certain firework mixtures or to ignite thermite reactions.
