Aluminum Element Cube

Aluminum's atomic number is 13 and its symbol is Al. This common metal is widely used because it is abundant, lightweight, resistant to tarnish, strong, and flexible. Aluminum is used in many modern-day electronics to provide structure as well as a thermal conductor to prevent electronics from overheating. Although the metal is currently used in many products including soda cans, it was not always so easy to obtain. In the 19th century, aluminum was worth more than gold. It was so precious that it was used to create the pyramid at the apex of the Washington Monument. At the time the monument was created it was the largest piece of aluminum in the world. Aluminum is often alloyed with various elements, such as vanadium and titanium to create various properties, such as high strength or improved machinability. This particular sample of aluminum is pure aluminum and is surprisingly soft compared to most alloys. This display is contained within crystal clear Lucite acrylic.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.
