[Robert Vandusen]

OK good to know.
I figured someone on the labnetwork would have the answer.

Thanks Subhadra.

Hi Rob,

I worked at MRC from 1985 to when it was sold in 1997. Marz grade is 5 9’s pure or 99.999%, just as you found out.

Best regards,
Su

Hi everyone.
We have some MARZ grade Aluminum evaporation slugs from MRC which we are hoping to use.
There is nothing else on the container indicating purity.  The PN is 20-101E-AL000-1000
I found one paper referring to MRC MZ Aluminum as 5-9s (99.999%),  but I haven’t been able to find any other information online on the purity of this MZ grade AL.
We could have it tested but just wondering if anyone out there knows for sure?

Thanks
