Platinum Powder (Pt Powder)

Product Code : ME-Pt-5N-PO

Platinum and platinum alloys are used in a wide range of settings where chemical inertness or wear resistance are important, including medical devices, laboratory instruments, electrical contacts, spark plugs, and turbine engines. A platinum-iridium alloy was also used to produce the international prototype kilogram and meter in the late 19th century; of the two only the kilogram remains in official use. Finally, organometallic platinum complexes have been investigated for use in cancer treatment. Like other platinum group metals, platinum is most often obtained for commercial use as a byproduct from nickel and copper mining and processing, but can also be obtained from rare platinum-rich ores and alluvial deposits of native platinum.

ATT specializes in producing high purity Platinum Powder with the smallest possible average grain sizes for use in of pressed and bonded sputtering targets, as platinum ink for screen printing of platinum thin film layers and in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes including Thermal and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD),  Metallic-Organic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD).  Powders are also useful in any application where high surface areas are desired such as water treatment and in fuel cell and solar applications.  Nanoparticles also produce very high surface areas.  Our standard powder particle sizes average in the range of - 325 mesh, - 100 mesh, 10-50 microns and submicron (<  1 micron).  We can also provide many materials in the nanoscale range.
