Description

Cadmium is a soft, malleable, bluish-white metallic element with significant industrial utility due to its unique chemical and physical properties. It is valued for its excellent corrosion resistance, low melting point, and ability to form stable compounds. This material is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring reliable plating agents, specialized battery components, and precise pigment formulations. The product is supplied as Cadmium CAS NO 7440-43-9, meeting the stringent quality and consistency demands of global industrial supply chains.

Application

• Electroplating & Coatings: Used for corrosion-resistant cadmium plating on steel, aerospace components, and fasteners.
• Battery Manufacturing: A key component in the production of nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) rechargeable batteries.
• Pigments & Stabilizers: Employed in the synthesis of cadmium-based pigments (yellows, reds, oranges) for plastics, ceramics, and artists' colors, and as stabilizers in PVC.
• Alloys & Solders: Used in low-melting-point alloys, bearing alloys, and specialty solders.
• Nuclear Industry: Serves as a neutron absorber in control rods for nuclear reactors.
• Semiconductor & Electronics: Used in the manufacture of certain compound semiconductors like cadmium telluride (CdTe) for solar cells and photodetectors.

Quality Control

Our Cadmium is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to support compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks, including REACH. Specifications can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements for different industrial grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Due to its nature, it is recommended to store under conditions that minimize dust generation and exposure to moisture. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
