Guys,
for those of you in the EU, do you have any cheap source of zinc powder? I used to buy it from Pyrogarage, but Ireneusz seems dead these days. His
prices were very low, like € 30 for 1 kg of 45 µm ball milled zinc, I wonder where I can find any equivalent.
Thanks!

Depends on how much you need and the purity. But I can recommend Laborladen! 1 kg is 17,90 €, but you can also just buy 100 g. It's also 99,995%
pure. https://www.laborladen.de/Zink-Pulver-40-um-Zn-99995
It's <40 µm

Well, I wrote the message and just after found a local hardware store which sells Zinc powder 99.5% for € 11 / 500g. It’s slightly more expensive,
but after paying the shipment, it might not be.
But thanks for the hint. Might be useful for other items.

You're welcome! They also sell magnesium and other metals quite cheap.

Well, I even found cheaper over here, € 20 for one kg of 99.5% Zn powder, with only € 6 shipping.

In my country the Zn powder 99% costs 370 CZK = 15 EUR

Though I do not know whether they sell abroad in EU.
Here even cheaper 302 CZK = 12 EUR

Here some already expired auctions where 1 kg for 200 CZK = 8 EUR
