Laboratory Grade Sodium Metal in Kerosene Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CA-12660

The Sodium Metal in Kerosene / Vaseline is a water-reactive alkali metal supplied under protective medium for staff-controlled chemistry demonstrations, reactivity teaching, and supervised chemical-analysis support. It is suitable only for trained chemistry staff, authorised laboratory technicians, institutional reagent stores, and procurement teams requiring SDS-based handling and restricted-access storage.

Product Description

Sodium Metal in Kerosene / Vaseline from School Equipments India is positioned for the laboratory chemicals, alkali-metal reagents, and Materials & their Properties category. A direct verified product page for this exact chemical was not found, so net sodium weight, protective medium, piece size, pack size, container type, SDS, COA, batch number, and expiry or retest date must be confirmed before publishing or ordering.

Sodium metal has the symbol Na and CAS number 7440-23-5. It is stored under kerosene, liquid paraffin, mineral oil, or similar protective medium because contact with moisture or water can generate sodium hydroxide, heat, and flammable hydrogen gas.

Key Features

• Protected storage format: supplied under kerosene or vaseline-style protective medium [confirm final medium].
• Alkali metal identity: supports staff-led lessons on sodium, Group 1 metals, and metal reactivity.
• Formula Na: useful for atomic-mass, reactivity, and materials-property teaching.
• Water-reactive handling: must be kept away from water, acids, oxidizers, alcohols, and wet tools.
• Restricted-use reagent: not suitable for unsupervised student handling or open-access reagent storage.
• Documentation-led purchase: unverified pack size, net metal weight, and documents are marked for confirmation.

How to Use the Sodium Metal in Kerosene / Vaseline

1. Read the current SDS, risk assessment, institutional SOP, and emergency procedure before opening the container.
2. Use only in a controlled laboratory area approved for water-reactive metals.
3. Keep water, wet glassware, acids, oxidizers, alcohols, and incompatible solvents away from the work area.
4. Wear eye protection, face protection if specified, compatible gloves, lab coat, and closed footwear.
5. Use clean, completely dry tools and remove only the minimum quantity authorised by the supervisor.
6. Keep unused sodium fully covered by the protective medium and close the container immediately.
7. Label all containers clearly and return stock to restricted-access dry storage after use.
8. Collect residues only under the approved sodium-metal waste procedure; do not add water or discard in drains.

Safety note: Sodium metal is dangerous when wet and can ignite or release flammable hydrogen on contact with moisture. It must not be handled by students or untrained users.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed under its protective medium in a dry, labelled, restricted-access chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from water sources, humidity, acids, oxidizers, halogenated solvents, alcohols, heat, and unauthorised users.
• Inspect the container, label, seal, protective-medium coverage, and corrosion condition before supervised use.
• Arrange disposal of degraded, exposed, leaking, or unlabelled stock through authorised hazardous-waste procedures.

Why Choose School Equipments India

School Equipments India manufactures and exports scientific laboratory instruments, lab experiment setups, science kits, mathematics kits, didactic models, and STEM models. Its Chemistry and Materials & their Properties categories support teaching laboratories, colleges, distributors, and institutional buyers. For high-hazard reagents such as sodium metal, final purchasing should be based on verified SDS, COA, packing details, net metal quantity, protective medium, and transport requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sodium Metal in Kerosene / Vaseline used for?

Sodium Metal in Kerosene / Vaseline is used for staff-controlled demonstrations of alkali metal properties, sodium reactivity, protective storage methods, and water-reactive chemical safety.

What is the CAS number of sodium metal?

The CAS number of sodium metal is. This number should be used to match the SDS, COA, hazard label, and procurement record.

Why is sodium metal stored under kerosene or vaseline?

Sodium metal is stored under a protective liquid or grease medium to reduce contact with oxygen, moisture, and water vapour. Exposure to water can generate heat, sodium hydroxide, and flammable hydrogen gas.

Can students handle sodium metal?

No. Sodium metal should not be handled directly by students or untrained users. Any educational use must be staff-controlled with PPE, dry tools, restricted access, and emergency readiness.

What fire control is required for sodium metal?

Use only the fire-response procedure specified by the SDS and institutional SOP. Water and carbon dioxide extinguishers are not appropriate for sodium-metal incidents.

What should be confirmed before ordering?

Confirm the SDS, COA or batch specification, net sodium content, protective medium, pack size, container type, hazard label, batch number, and final packaging before ordering.
