What kind of protection do I need handling aluminum powder?
I am about going to do a chemistry extra credit project (making thermite) and I was wondering, when handling the aluminum powder, what precautions should be adhered to. Obviously I am mixing it outdoors in a well ventilated area, but what should I wear to protect myself from the particles of aluminum (inhaling them). What kind of safety gear would a chemist use (my teacher didn’t know, I already asked). Any help would be appreciated as I really don’t want to bring neurological damage on myself.
I would also like to ask if welding googles would be sufficient UV protection, (even though I don’t want to look directly at it, simple as a precaution)
Oh hey I’m doing this too for an ap demo. Normally it’s too heavy to get into air so you should be fine, as for the termite don’t use too much and you’ll be fine just do it away from people and move away quickly cause that stuff is hot.
