Ferrofluid: The Most Elusive Liquid on Earth
Originally created by NASA to fuel rockets in space, this magnetic liquid boasts some of the most bizarre properties known to science This particular batch may have been part of some wild experiments, but it’s still as mesmerizing as ever. But be warned, it's been known to have a mind of its own.
Grab it while it’s behaving.
Ferrofluid Safety and Handling Disclaimer
By purchasing and using this ferrofluid, you acknowledge and agree to the following safety guidelines, warnings, and disclaimers. This product is for educational, scientific, and artistic purposes only and is not a toy. It is not intended for use by children under 14 years old. Always handle with care and responsibility. Ferrofluid contains small magnetic nanoparticles suspended in a liquid carrier. It is highly reactive to magnetic fields and must be handled with caution.
This ferrofluid is highly staining and can permanently damage clothing, upholstery, wood, painted surfaces, and other materials. Use protective gloves, eye protection, and disposable or covered surfaces when handling. It is nearly impossible to remove from most porous surfaces. Ferrofluid is not water-soluble; attempting to clean spills with water will spread the material and worsen staining. To clean spills, use disposable absorbent materials and alcohol-based solvents if necessary.
DO NOT ingest, inhale, or allow ferrofluid to come into contact with skin, eyes, or mucous membranes. Contact may cause irritation or allergic reactions. In case of accidental contact, immediately rinse thoroughly with soap and water. If ferrofluid is ingested, inhaled, or causes severe irritation, seek emergency medical attention and provide product details to medical personnel.
Ferrofluid’s magnetic properties can interfere with or damage sensitive electronics, including phones, computers, hard drives, and credit cards, as well as medical devices like pacemakers or hearing aids. Keep ferrofluid away from all electronic devices and magnetic-sensitive materials. Its powerful attraction to magnets can cause sudden, forceful movements that may result in injury or spillage.
Do not expose ferrofluid to open flames, extreme heat, or freezing temperatures, as the liquid carrier is combustible and can degrade, releasing harmful fumes. Always store the ferrofluid in a sealed, airtight container in a cool, dry location, away from magnetic fields, heat sources, and direct sunlight.
WARNING: The ferrofluid’s behavior around strong magnets can be unpredictable and hazardous. Always handle with care and maintain a safe distance between the ferrofluid and any magnetic object until ready to use. The ferrofluid may “jump” or splash toward the magnet, causing unintended spills or accidents. Be especially cautious when conducting experiments.
This product must be disposed of responsibly. Do not pour ferrofluid down drains or into the environment, as it can contaminate water sources and harm ecosystems. Dispose of used ferrofluid at a certified hazardous waste facility according to your local regulations.
The ferrofluid is sold as-is and without warranty of any kind. The seller assumes no liability for damages, injuries, or adverse outcomes resulting from misuse, improper storage, or handling of this product. By purchasing, you agree to use this product at your own risk, following all safety guidelines and any applicable local regulations.
