High Purity Metals

Image shows section of metal elements and their symbols and atomic numbers in the periodic table.

High purity metals are metals that have been refined to remove impurities, resulting in a higher percentage of the desired metal element, typically above 99.9%. Our expertise in metal purification allows for production of the purest alkali earth and rare earth metals, consisting of over 300 high-purity metals with 99.999% (5N) purity or higher.

High-purity metals are used in electronics, photovoltaics, quantum devices, and energy applications. These metals are available in various forms including powders, foils, wires, and sputtering targets and are designed to meet the stringent purity requirements of both academic and industrial applications.
