Description

Tritium CAS NO 10028-17-8 is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, characterized by its gaseous state and high volatility. This unique radioisotope is a critical component in self-powered lighting systems, where its beta decay provides a reliable, long-term source of illumination without external power. It is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the defense, aerospace, and medical diagnostics sectors, serving as a tracer in hydrological studies and a target material in nuclear fusion research.

Application

• Manufacturing of self-luminous exit signs, watch hands, and instrument dials for aviation and military equipment.
• Use as a radioluminescent light source (GTLS - Gaseous Tritium Light Source) in applications requiring fail-safe illumination.
• Employed as a radioactive tracer in environmental and hydrological studies to track water movement and age.
• Critical target material in experimental nuclear fusion research and neutron generation.
• Component in betavoltaic devices for creating long-life, low-power batteries for remote sensors.
• Used in metabolic and pharmacokinetic research as a tracer in biological systems.
