Indium And Indium Compounds

About Indium and Indium Compounds

Elemental or metallic forms include pellets, wires and granules used as evaporation source materials. Indium oxide is available in the form of powders and dense pellets for applications such as optical coatings and thin film processes. Oxides are typically insoluble. Indium fluoride is another insoluble form used in processes where oxygen is undesirable, for example in metallurgy, chemical and physical gas phase deposition and in certain optical coatings. Indium is available in soluble forms, including chlorides, nitrates and acetates. These compounds are also prepared as solutions with specific stoichiometries.

Indium is available as a metal and as compounds with purity levels ranging from 99% to 99.9999% (ACS grade to highest purity). Materials include metals in the form of foils, sputter targets and rods, as well as compounds such as submicron and nanopowders. Highly pure (99.99999%) indium sputtering targets are available. Indium is also used in a variety of metal alloys.
