Luxfer Magtech manufactures a wide range of Magnesium Chips & Granules commonly used in Grignard reactions for specialty chemical, pharmaceutical and agricultural applications.
Magnesium chips, also known as magnesium turnings, and granules are produced by mechanically processing standard-purity (99.8% Mg) or ultra-high-purity (99.98% Mg) magnesium ingots. The process can be adjusted to produce magnesium chips and granules that meet different shape, size, and surface area requirements.
