Product Overview
This cadmium wire is engineered for laboratories requiring ultra-high purity materials. With a 99.999% metals basis purity and Puratronic™ grade certification, it ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for sensitive applications where trace contaminants could compromise results. The 0.64mm (0.025in) diameter provides a balance between flexibility and structural integrity, allowing for easy handling during experiments. The wire’s uniform composition guarantees consistent performance, whether used in electrochemical studies, material synthesis, or as a calibration standard. Its high ductility enables precise cutting and shaping without compromising purity. The Puratronic™ designation confirms rigorous quality control, ensuring reliability in critical research environments. Available in 15m and 3m lengths, this wire adapts to both large-scale and small-scale experimental setups. The absence of oxidizing agents or coatings preserves its reactive properties, making it a dependable choice for advanced scientific work.
FAQs
1. What is the diameter tolerance for this cadmium wire?
The 0.64mm diameter is maintained within strict tolerances to ensure uniformity, typically ±0.01mm, for precision applications.
2. Is this wire compatible with standard lab wire cutters?
Yes, the wire’s ductility allows it to be cut cleanly with standard lab-grade wire cutters without fraying or deformation.
3. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for less critical applications?
Lower-grade cadmium wires (e.g., 99.9% purity) are available but may introduce trace impurities unsuitable for high-sensitivity work.
4. How should this wire be stored to prevent oxidation?
Store in a dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., argon-filled containers) and seal the packaging tightly after each use to minimize exposure.
5. Can this wire be used in high-temperature applications?
Cadmium’s low melting point (321°C) limits its use in high-temperature settings; verify thermal stability for your specific protocol.
