Indium
Pure Indium Material
Indium is a soft, silvery metal that is stable in air and water. Indium metal sticks to glass and can be used to give a mirror finish to windows of tall buildings, and as a protective film on welders’ goggles.
Indium is an element used in the manufacture of semiconductors. It has been used since the 1950s, when it was discovered that indium tin oxide (ITO), which contains indium, could be used as a transparent conductor in liquid crystal displays. ITO is also used in touch screens, solar cells, and other electronic devices.
This is because it conducts electricity, bonds strongly to glass and is transparent. can produce the whole range of Indium metal-based products including highly purified indium metal, compounds, and alloys in a variety of different in particle sizes and shapes and with other special properties.
In recent years, indium has become more popular due to its ability to conduct heat better than copper.

Physical Properties of Indium
Indium, the 49th element, was discovered in Germany in 1863.
Indium is a hard, brittle, silver-white metal that tarnishes easily. It is ductile and malleable. Its melting point is 156.6°C and boiling point is 2,027°C.
It is stable in air and in water but dissolves in acids. When heated above its melting point it ignites burning with a violet flame.
