Bismuth pellets ingot is one of Goodfellow's offerings in their range of pellets products. Bismuth has a relatively low melting point and high density compared to many metals. This makes it useful for applications like balancing wheels in aircraft, improving the running of diesel engines, and in medicines to treat stomach ulcers. The pellets form allows bismuth to be easily melted down or used directly in applications requiring small granular materials with high density and low melting point. With its unique properties, Goodfellow's bismuth pellets open possibilities across industries.
