Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Shows field patterns around bar magnets, horseshoe magnets and electromagnets
- Iron powder CAS number 7439-89-6
- Supports magnetic separation from mixed materials
- Fine particles need dust control and are kept away from flames, sparks and electrical contacts
About This Product
Teachers use this material to make magnetic fields visible and to demonstrate magnetic attraction and separation. It fits practicals on forces, fields, electricity and magnetism, as well as chemistry discussions on metals and material properties. Users wear goggles, gloves and a lab coat, avoid creating airborne dust, and collect used filings carefully afterwards. Export supply of the Iron Metal Powder & Filings can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Vietnam, Mauritius, Qatar, Iran and Zimbabwe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How are iron filings used to show magnetic field lines?
Spread a small quantity on a sealed tray or clear sheet, place the magnet below or near it, and tap the sheet gently. The filings align with the magnetic field and trace the field-line pattern.
