Raceman17 Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 It's an atomized aluminum. It's made to Mil Spec Mil-A-512A, Type III, Grade F, Class 6. It's a fancy way of saying atomized Al of approximately the size we use for glitters. http://everyspec.com/MIL-SPECS/MIL-SPECS-MIL-A/MIL-A-512A_28073/ Type III is atomized. Grade F is nearly pure Al. Class 6 is 2% max retained on 100 mesh screen, 20% max on a 200 mesh, and 10-35% on a 325. It's really nothing all that special.Thanks Mumbles!
Mumbles Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Mumbles, this is mostly large mesh. I would say most is in the 30-70 range. I also use it for waterfalls. That's interesting. I have a few formulas that were originally made with it. They gave me the impression, along with the mil-specs that it's basically a glitter aluminum, somewhere in the 200-325 mesh average particle size like typical or slightly larger than typical glitter Al.
gregh Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 I wonder if what was in that drum wasn't 611. The drum still had its original Ampal labels which said it was AM611-STD. However, as a lot people know that got stuff from GPS, you really don't know what was in some of the containers you got. Some of my stuff had several different things written on them and marked through with sharpie. I did see several references that said the 611 was finer as you stated. Whatever it is I have, I like it!
