Product type
Tellurium metal is a rare, brittle, silver-white metalloid that is primarily used in various industrial applications. It is known for its unique properties, including high thermal and electrical conductivity, making it valuable in the production of alloys and semiconductors. Tellurium is often obtained as a byproduct of copper refining and can be found in both crystalline and amorphous forms.
| Purity | Typically 99.5% or higher |
| Appearance | Silver-white metallic solid |
| Melting Point | 449.51 °C (841.12 °F) |
| Density | 6.24 g/cm³ |
| Form | Available in ingots, powder, or granules |
When selecting tellurium metal, buyers should consider the purity level required for their specific applications, as higher purity levels are often necessary for electronics and semiconductor uses. Additionally, specifying the desired form—whether ingots, powder, or granules—is important for processing. It is also advisable to inquire about certifications and compliance with industry standards, especially for critical applications.
