Platinum Crucibles and Moulds Description
Platinum is selected because of its inert behaviour, high melting point, capacity to withstand extreme temperatures, ductility and resistance to corrosion and oxidation. It is therefore used in standard laboratory apparatus.
Our platinum crucibles and moulds are manufactured from a 5% Au-Pt alloy. Crucibles and moulds comprising 5% Au-Pt are employed for sample preparation prior to XRF analysis. The non-wetting property of this material facilitates the removal of bead samples after melting.
