Indium – 99.99% minimum purity

Indium: Properties and Uses

Indium is a very soft metal with a low melting point and a lustrous, silver-white appearance. Its unique properties make it an essential material in advanced manufacturing.

Electronics and Display Applications

It is mostly used in the electronics industry. It is a key ingredient in flat screen displays and semiconductor devices. Indium tin oxide (ITO), forms transparent and conductive coatings for screens in televisions, computers, and smartphones. It is also valuable in various semiconductors and optoelectronics, supporting high-speed and high-frequency devices.

Use in Alloys

Indium plays an important role in low melting point alloys (LMPAs). Alloy producers often combine this with lead, tin, or bismuth to create fusible alloys that melt between 43˚C and 93˚C. These alloys appear in thermal fuses, fire sprinkler links, and safety devices, where precise melting behaviour is critical.

Additional Applications

Some manufacturers also add it as a minor element to aluminium anodes for marine cathodic protection. Its flexibility at low temperatures makes it ideal for forming vacuum seals, also, it supports cryogenic and high-vacuum applications. New technologies use this metal in solar panels, infrared devices, and as a component in advanced solders for electronics.
