Brief: Discover the fascinating interaction between gallium and indium in this video. Learn about indium's unique properties, its role in ITO target production, medical imaging, and liquid metal alloys like Galinstan. Perfect for those interested in rare metals and advanced applications.
Related Product Features:
  • Indium (In) is a silvery-white metal with a slight bluish tint, known for its extreme softness and excellent plasticity.
  • Primary application includes production of ITO (indium tin oxide) targets for displays.
  • Used in medical imaging as indium colloids for liver, spleen, and bone marrow scans.
  • Forms fusible liquid metal alloys with gallium, such as Galinstan.
  • Melting point of 156.61°C and boiling point of 2060°C, with a density of 7.30 g/cm³.
  • Available in high purity grades of 99.99% and 99.999%.
  • Packaged in standard 50 kg drums, 500 kg pallets, or sample sizes of 500 g/bag and 1 kg/bottle.
  • Extracted primarily through the extraction-electrolysis method, with 90% of global output from lead-zinc smelting by-products.
Faqs:
  • What are the primary uses of indium?
    Indium is primarily used in the production of ITO targets for displays, medical imaging agents, and the formulation of liquid metal alloys like Galinstan.
  • What is the purity level of the indium offered?
    The indium is available in two high-purity grades: 99.99% and 99.999%, suitable for specialized applications requiring ultra-pure materials.
  • How is indium typically packaged for shipment?
    Indium is packaged in standard 50 kg drums, 500 kg pallets, or smaller sample sizes of 500 g/bags and 1 kg/bottles for convenience and flexibility.
  • What safety precautions should be taken when handling indium?
    While indium is generally safe, precautionary measures include avoiding inhalation of dust, wearing protective gloves, and following standard safety protocols for metal handling.
