Aluminium powder is non-toxic in nature but is a highly reactive flammable material. It releases flammable hydrogen gas when it comes in contact with water, strong acids and bases, and alcohols. Due to this, it is used in explosives, particularly for military applications. Moreover, it is combined with oxygen and is used for rocket launching in the aerospace industry. As it reacts with water to produce hydrogen, aluminium powder can also be used to make ‘lightweight’ concrete. Some of the other applications of aluminium powder include the manufacturing of paints, reflective roof coating, printing inks, cosmetic colorant, etc. Further, the market is further expected to reach a volume of around 670 Thousand Tons by 2022.
