aluminum powder
Silvery metal particles
Aluminum powder is finely ground metalite aluminum, a gray or silver dust used in paints, pigments, pyrotechnics, and explosives.
The high surface area makes it reactive—it burns intensely when ignited, producing the bright flashes in fireworks and the fuel component in thermite.
Industrial applications include metallic coatings and rocket propellants.
