Aluminium powder

This was originally produced by mechanical means using a stamp mill to create flakes.

Subsequently, a process of spraying molten aluminium to create a powder of droplets was developed by E. J.

The resulting powder might then be processed further in a ball mill to flatten it into flakes for use as a coating or pigment.

Although aluminium is unlikely to be adsorbed into the blood stream, its inhalation can cause severe irritation and hinder the ventilation mechanism.

[10] Aluminium powder and dust is highly flammable and creates a significant risk of fire or explosion.
