Gallium Metal 50 Grams, 99.99% Pure Melting Gallium - 50g Vial

Product Information

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Strategic Metals Invest only facilitates the purchase, storage, and sale of technology metals and rare earth elements as tangible assets. Gallium is used in the semiconductor industry due to its semiconductor properties of alloys formed with phosphorus, arsenic and antimony. Pick up some silicon dioxide for food production, or boost your porcelain and glass-making operations with a batch of calcium based oxide. Moreover, it is an effective disinfectant that can kill bacteria, viruses and other pathogens on contact.

Recommend using the gloves when playing with the gallium as it leaves your fingers marked as if you were playing with pencils as it leaves a carbon like residue. One of four metals which can be liquid at room temperature, gallium has the longest liquid range of any metal (2175 C).The industry estimates are that China has 400,000 people working in Rare Earths and technology metals, and the US has 400. More importantly, it’ll take a decade at least to foster the engineering expertise and human capital needed. Also 'granular rather than a block' has been requested but the suppliers all seem to be treating it as a liquid form so I guess the closest is beads.

In addition to its use in 5G base station chipsets, gallium nitride is used in military radar, lasers, and satellites. An exception is the alloy with plutonium: in this case it is about the construction of a nuclear bomb.Although Gallium is generally considered non-toxic, it is advisable to avoid exposure and ingestion.
