Application

Indium Hydroxide is a versatile yellow-white powder with a purity of 99.999% and a particle size of -100 mesh. It serves as a crucial precursor to indium(III) oxide and finds applications across numerous industries. This compound plays a significant role in the production of batteries, glasses, ceramics, chemical reagents, and semiconductors, owing to its adaptability and functional properties. Available in two distinct morphologies, crystalline and fine powder, indium hydroxide caters to various needs. The crystalline form features cubic-shaped crystals sized between 1 to 5 micrometers, while the fine powder consists of smaller particles ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 micrometers, with shapes varying from spherical to elliptical. Although indium hydroxide is soluble in mineral acids, it remains insoluble in water, adding to its unique chemical profile. Its widespread use extends to the manufacturing of components for flat panel displays, highlighting its importance in modern technology.
