Description:
This auction is for 100 grams (about 3.53 ounces) of Black Iron Oxide. You will get your 100 grams measured out on an electronic scale, accurate to 1/10 of a gram, I will also add a little bit extra for good measure. I will ship the package as soon as possible after receiving payment. The auction starts at only one cent ($0.01).
I can accommodate different sized orders if desired by special request in additional auction listings.
If you have any question, please ask.
Payment: I accept PayPal and money order. I prefer PayPal because it is the quickest form of payment.
Shipping: I will ship just about anywhere you want in the world. If you want to want me to ship internationally (outside of the United States), it is best to check with me and confirm the shipping price. Shipping cost: $6.99 total S&H
Uses: Iron Oxide has many uses, as a pigment for coloring/dyes, in chemical reactions, and more. -pigment: Iron oxide is commonly used as a pigment for coloring all sorts of materials, like paints, plastics, and rubber. It is also used for the dye in tattoos. The major colors that can be created by iron oxide are red, black, yellow, and brown. -catalyst: Iron oxide can be used as a catalyst, or a means to create a reaction between two other substances without being used itself, in many reactions. One reaction in which iron oxide is a catalyst is the converting of carbon monoxide, a toxic gas, into carbon dioxide, a necessary gas for the planet. Another instance in which iron oxide is used as a catalyst is the synthesis of ammonia. Many other reactions can be performed using iron oxide as a catalyst. -magnets: Certain magnets, called “ceramic” or “ferrite” magnets, use iron oxide as a raw material, along with barium or strontium carbonate. These magnets are inexpensive and they have a high force, but they are brittle and crack easily. -source of heat: When iron oxide is reacted with aluminum, it releases great amounts of heat, enough to weld metals together. The exothermic reaction of iron and oxygen to create rust is widely used in heat packs. -Black Iron Oxide, since it is magnetic, is also widely used to make "ferro fluids", or fluids that will respond to a magnetic field.

Iron Oxide:
iron (II, III) oxide Formula as commonly written: Fe3O4 Formula weight: 231.533 Class: oxide
Synonyms: Iron (II, III) Oxide Ferrosoferric oxide Triiron tetroxide
Physical properties: Colour: Black Appearance: crystalline solid Melting point: 1538 C Density: 4.8 - 5.1 g/cm3
Dangers: -Iron oxide is not toxic, although some dangers are present when the fumes or dust of iron oxide are inhaled. -Inhalation of any metallic fumes or dust can cause irritation to the throat and nasal area. They can also irritate the eyes. -Extended inhalation of iron oxide in high concentrations in the form of dust or fumes can cause pulmonary effects, eventually resulting in siderosis (inflammation of the lungs).
I cannot be held responsible for anything you do using any of my products.
