Thermite-high Yield (8 Ounces)

Description

Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition that when ignited, burns at an incredibly high temperature while also producing molten iron. It will burn through, or weld steel together. Thermite can be difficult to ignite, not even a propane torch is hot enough to ignite it and get the reaction started. Typically, Thermite Ignition mixture is used, although sometimes burning magnesium ribbon will work. United Nuclear's Thermite is premixed and ready to use - perfect for burning through, or welding metals together. Ordinary Thermite uses red iron oxide and produces approximately 851 kJ of energy. United Nuclear's high performance black iron oxide formula produces a massive 3347 kJ of energy. Thermite is great for casting metal parts in sand, welding iron together, or cutting through a steel sheet. Thermite can be an awesome chemistry demonstration that students won't forget. Safety goggles are recommended to protect eyes from sparks when igniting thermite.
