Product Overview
Gallium 99.99% (trace metal basis) is a high-purity, silvery-white metal known for its exceptionally low melting point of 29.8°C, allowing it to liquefy at near-room temperature. This property makes it invaluable in thermal management applications, where it serves as a heat transfer medium in high-performance electronics and cooling systems. Its excellent wettability and thermal conductivity enhance efficiency in semiconductor fabrication, while its non-toxicity and resistance to oxidation ensure long-term stability in lab environments. The trace metal basis purity ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical and research applications. Gallium does not corrode most metals, making it compatible with a wide range of materials in experimental setups. Its unique ability to form alloys with low melting points further expands its utility in specialized applications like soldering and metallurgy. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature melting, and handle with standard lab safety precautions.
FAQs
1. What is the melting point of this gallium?
The melting point is 29.8°C, allowing it to liquefy slightly above room temperature.
2. Can this gallium be used for semiconductor doping?
Yes, its 99.99% purity makes it suitable for semiconductor applications where minimal impurities are critical.
3. Is this gallium compatible with glass containers?
Gallium does not react with glass, so it can be safely stored in glass containers without contamination.
4. How should I store gallium to prevent premature melting?
Store in a cool, dry place below 29.8°C, preferably in a sealed container to avoid exposure to air.
5. Does this gallium contain any hazardous impurities?
