Random Cuttings & Spectroscopic Powders

SpectroGrade™ KBr powder is a must for IR pellets of extremely high grade. The low moisture content and high purity of SpectroGrade™ KBr powder is only possible because it comes directly from ICL’s own ingot stock. This powder is ideal for producing KBr crystal pellets. A 100 gram bottle will yield approximately 250 7mm pellets. 99.999% pure XL™ grade KBr powder and FTIR grade are also available. Purity certifications are provided with XL™ and FTIR grade powder. Ask for ICL’s instruction pamphlet “Making KBr Pellets”.

Spectrograde™ TiBr Powder

TiBr powder contains thallium bromide, which is a high refractive index material that can be used in evaluating high index samples. This material is free of water absorptions.

Spectrograde™ KCl Powder

Spectrograde™ KCl powder makes IR pellets of extremely high quality with low moisture content and low impurity content. Spectrograde™ KCl comes directly from ICL’s own KCl ingot stock. This powder is ideal for producing KCl pellets and a 100gm bottle will yield approximately 250 7mm pellets.

Spectrograde™ CsI Powder

CsI powder is a low refractive index material that is valuable to those spectroscopists with instruments extending into the far infrared. CsI produces continuous spectra up to 50 microns.

Random Cuttings – Chunks of KBr and KCI

Samples being analyzed by diffuse reflectance are often combined with a powder so that a matrix can be formed. KBr and KCl are excellent media for diffuse reflection sampling and for pellets.
KBr and KCl sold as random cuttings can be ground finely immediately prior to being mixed with the sample for either diffuse reflection or transmission pellets. Random cuttings ground into powder a short time before being mixed with a sample will contain less water than pre-made powders. Sampling Tip: Mix the powder with the sample, do not grind it into the sample. Ask for ICL’s instruction pamphlet “Making KBr Pellets”.

Dimensional & Symmetrical Cuttings - KBr, KCI & NaCl

KBr, KCl and NaCl are cubic in structure (100 cleavage plane), and can be cleaved into relatively precise shapes. Cleaved pieces do not absorb atmospheric moisture. They are useful as teaching aids and as blanks for precision polished optics. Ask us for prices on any sizes or shape.
