Where to Buy Platinum Sheet

Platinum sheet has unique properties, meaning it meets performance standards for a range of specific applications and is used as an intermediary good to produce a variety of end-products. Platinum is the rarest of all precious metals, around 90% of platinum supplies are derived from Russia and South Africa and there are no significant above-ground supplies.

Platinum and platinum sheet is critical for the production of approximately 20% of consumer goods and a range of industries are dependent on platinum because of the unique characteristics it possesses.

Applications of Platinum

Platinum and platinum sheet are used in a range of applications including:

• Eyeglasses
• Fiberoptic cables
• Explosives
• Paints
• Anti-cancer drugs
• Gasoline
• LCDs
• Catalyst in fuel cells
• Pacemakers
• Hard disk drives

Platinum sheet is also often used for glass melting equipment that is capable of enduring harsh conditions to meet customer requirements. Platinum sheet has high tensile strength, high creep rupture strength, and can withstand high temperatures. Platinum sheet also has excellent endurance and as such, it is often used for cladding ceramic and metal components in applications such as high purity glass production.

Platinum sheet is often used because it is malleable, ductile, and corrosion-resistant even at elevated temperatures. These properties result in excellent electroconductivity and biocompatibility and this is why platinum is so suitable for medical device manufacturing.
