Lycopodium Powder Extra Pure is a fine, yellowish powder derived from the spores of club moss plants, prized for its exceptional purity and versatility in both scientific and industrial applications. In laboratories, it is frequently used to demonstrate Brownian motion, study spore dispersion, or simulate particulate flow in airflow experiments. Due to its high flammability, Lycopodium powder also serves as a dramatic visual aid in physics demonstrations involving flame propagation or combustion. Outside the lab, it has niche applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and even pyrotechnics. It should be handled with care and stored in a dry, cool, and non-igniting environment.
