Applications
Iron powder grades by application
Four application areas, each with its own specification priorities and test methods.
Environmental engineering
Zero-valent iron for in-situ remediation
Reactive iron for permeable reactive barriers and injection programs targeting chlorinated solvents and hexavalent chromium.
Food & pharmaceutical packaging
Iron powder for oxygen absorbers
Low-contaminant reduced iron for oxygen absorber sachets and active packaging films.
Disposable warmers & heat wraps
Iron powder for air-activated heat packs
Controlled-particle reduced iron for exothermic heat pack formulations.
Brake pads & clutch facings
Iron powder for friction materials
Porous sponge iron for friction formulations, giving mechanical interlock with phenolic resin binders.
