Silver was known to ancient civilisations. Silver is a soft, malleable metal with a characteristic sheen. It has the highest thermal and electrical conductivities of all metals. It is generally found uncombined, or in the sulphide or arsenide ores from which it can be recovered as a cyanide complex which is subsequently reduced to the metal, in aqueous solution, by the use of zinc. The pure metal is stable to water and oxygen but is attacked in air by sulphur bearing compounds to form the characteristic black layer of silver sulphide. It is soluble in sulphuric and nitric acids. Some silver salts are sensitive to light (e.g. AgI, AgCl and AgBr) and are of fundamental importance to photography. Other applications and industries in which silver is used include the manufacture of jewellery (both as the pure metal and as a constituent of various alloys), the electrical industry (e.g. in the manufacture of contacts) and for the silvering of glass.
Foglio - Sottili fogli di metallo puro e leghe metalliche. A causa della loro fragilità, alcuni fogli sono rivestiti su un lato con un sostegno in acrilico o poliestere. La parte in cui i fogli sono sostenuti è indicata nella descrizione dettagliata dell'elemento.
Per le pellicole di spessore uguale o inferiore a 0,05 mm offriamo 2 opzioni: pellicole testate a prova di luce (indicate come LT a catalogo) o pellicole standard non testate (indicate come Dimensioni).
Per le pellicole di spessore superiore a 0,05 mm il test a prova di luce non e’ richiesto, dato che le pellicole diventano naturalmente piu’ dense ed efficaci nel prevenire il passaggio della luce.
