Aluminium powder refers to the fine, granular, silvery-white to grey, and odorless powder made from aluminium metal. It is reactive and flammable in nature and is obtained by stamping and ball-milling foils in the presence of fatty lubricants, such as stearic acid, edible vegetable oil, and food-grade fatty acids. It is also supplied in the form of paste wetted with mineral spirit. Nowadays, aluminium powder is available in various forms, such as atomized aluminium powder, flake powder, paste, and pigment powder. The powder is denser than water and is extensively used to make other chemicals. Aluminium powder undergoes vigorous exothermic reactions when it gets oxidized. It can also react with numerous organic and inorganic chemicals. As a result, it finds application in manufacturing explosives and fireworks, paints and sealants, sparkles and glitters, aerated autoclave concrete, reflective roof coatings, and printing inks.
