Amazing Liquid Metal (Like Mercury) 10 Gram Tube
This 10-gram liquid metal alloy is a remarkable blend of Gallium, Tin, and Indium, supplied in a secure plastic test tube (83x12mm, including lid). It serves as a non-toxic alternative to mercury in certain applications.
Handling & Safety:
While considered non-toxic, we strongly recommend using gloves and safety glasses when handling this alloy.
Important: Gallium and its alloys are highly corrosive to metals—especially aluminium. If you’ve ever seen videos of Gallium versus aluminium cans, you’ll know it’s a fun experiment, but definitely not something you want happening to your window frames or aircraft!
This liquid metal is also incredibly messy. Like mercury, it breaks into tiny droplets but clings stubbornly to most surfaces, leaving grey stains on benches, tools, and hands. It can even wet glass and ceramics, making clean up a challenge.
