Novacentrix
Novacentrix (www.novacentrix.com) manufactures spherical aluminum nanopowder with an average particle size of 25 m2/gm. The powder has 75% active aluminum content by mass and a 2-3 nm oxide passivation layer, the company says. The high specific surface area leads to high reaction rates, making it suitable for systems such as primers, propellants, and explosives. The powder for ink is available in 50 – 150 gram evaluation quanitities and comes packed under argon, and shipped in oxygen-barrier bags (up to 200 gm per bag).
