Phosphorous Red Extra Pure
Original price was: $ 19.89.$ 19.76Current price is: $ 19.76.
Phosphorous Red Extra Pure is a high-purity allotrope of elemental phosphorus, presented as a dark red to violet amorphous powder. Unlike its white counterpart, red phosphorus is significantly more stable and less reactive at room temperature, making it safer to handle under controlled conditions. It is insoluble in water and most organic solvents and must be stored under inert conditions due to its flammability in finely divided form.
This grade of red phosphorus is commonly used in laboratories for chemical synthesis, pyrotechnics, match production, and flame retardant formulations. In education and research, it is employed in demonstrations of allotropy and in preparing organophosphorus compounds.
