Indium Disk

Formula: In

Form: Disk

Material: Indium

CAS Number: 7440-74-6

Commodity: Metals

Goodfellow's indium disks, available with a maximum purity of 99.999% (5N), are prized for their unique combination of properties. Indium is known for its low melting point, high ductility, and excellent wetting characteristics. These properties make it invaluable in the production of low-temperature solders, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and touch screens. In the semiconductor industry, indium is a key component in the manufacture of compound semiconductors like indium gallium arsenide, used in high-speed electronics and photonics. Its use in transparent conductive coatings for solar cells and smart windows highlights its role in energy-efficient technologies. In research, high-purity indium is crucial for developing new alloys, studying superconductivity, and advancing thin-film deposition techniques. The increasing demand for indium in emerging technologies underscores its significance in both scientific exploration and industrial applications.
