Product Overview
This Puratronic™ indium shot delivers exceptional 99.9995% purity (metals basis), making it ideal for applications demanding ultra-low impurity levels. The 5mm and smaller shot form ensures uniform handling and precise dosing in laboratory settings. Processed under stringent quality controls, this high-grade indium maintains consistent composition batch-to-batch, eliminating variability in experimental results. The material’s low melting point (156.6°C) and excellent thermal conductivity make it particularly valuable for specialized applications requiring controlled thermal management. Each batch undergoes rigorous spectroscopic analysis to verify purity, with documentation available upon request. The shot form provides better surface area exposure compared to ingots, facilitating faster dissolution when required. Packaged in inert gas environments to prevent oxidation, this indium maintains its pristine condition until use. The material’s soft, malleable nature allows for easy shaping or cutting without specialized tools, while its resistance to atmospheric corrosion ensures long-term stability in storage.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of this Puratronic™ indium shot?
When stored in its original packaging under recommended conditions, this indium maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this indium be used for semiconductor applications?
The 99.9995% purity level makes it suitable for many semiconductor-related processes, though specific application requirements should be verified against your protocol’s purity thresholds.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this material?
While indium is generally considered low toxicity, standard lab safety practices including gloves and eye protection are recommended to prevent skin contact with the metal dust.
4. How does the shot form compare to indium wire or foil?
The shot form offers better surface area for reactions and easier portioning for small-scale experiments compared to wire or foil configurations.
5. What documentation is provided with each order?
Every shipment includes a certificate of analysis detailing the actual purity levels and spectroscopic test results for that specific batch.
