Product Overview
This Puratronic™-grade indium wire offers exceptional purity at 99.998% (metals basis), making it a critical material for applications demanding ultra-low impurity levels. The 0.25mm (0.01in) diameter ensures precise handling and controlled application in laboratory settings. Indium’s low melting point (156.6°C) and excellent thermal conductivity make it indispensable for soldering, thermal interface materials, and semiconductor manufacturing. The wire’s uniform diameter and high ductility allow for consistent performance in delicate procedures. Packaged in airtight spools to prevent oxidation, this wire maintains its purity during storage and handling. The Puratronic™ certification guarantees traceability and adherence to strict quality standards, ensuring reliability in research and industrial applications. Available in three convenient lengths (2.5m, 10m, 25m) to suit varying project scales, this indium wire combines purity with practicality for demanding laboratory environments.
FAQs
1. What is the melting point of this indium wire?
The melting point of this 99.998% pure indium wire is 156.6°C, which is significantly lower than many other metals used in laboratory applications.
2. Can this wire be used for vacuum-sealed applications?
Yes, the high purity and low outgassing properties of Puratronic™-grade indium make it suitable for vacuum-sealed environments where contamination must be minimized.
3. How should this indium wire be stored to maintain its purity?
Store the wire in its original airtight packaging at room temperature, away from moisture and oxidizing agents. Avoid exposure to air for prolonged periods to prevent surface oxidation.
4. Is this wire compatible with lead-free soldering applications?
Absolutely, this ultra-pure indium wire is commonly used in lead-free soldering due to its excellent wetting properties and low toxicity compared to traditional lead-based solders.
5. What alternatives exist if I need a slightly lower purity indium wire?
For applications where 99.998% purity isn’t critical, consider indium wire with 99.99% or 99.9% purity levels, which are more cost-effective while still maintaining good performance characteristics.
