Physically pure platinum wire mesh is widely used in the manufacture of platinum resistance thermometers, S-type thermocouples, R-type thermocouples, standard electrodes and other instruments, catalyst, nitric acid preparation, etc. A current and important use is in the manufacture of exhaust pipe catalysts where a ceramic honeycomb is coated with platinum. It is also used in jewelry.
The meshes are available woven or electromolded, in both cases, the opening sizes indicated are nominal. Thread mesh. Material woven from metallic threads to form a fine net with regular series of holes. Electroformed mesh Product obtained by electroplasty through a mask on a subsequently removed substrate.
Platinum, history, characteristics and applications
Platinum was known to the native South Americans before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and was introduced to Europe around the year 1750.
Platinum is a member of the platinoid group. It is a lustrous, malleable and ductile metal, its abundance in the Earth's crust is approximately 0.001ppm.
It is the most important metal of a group of six (Pt, Pd, Os, Ir, Rh and Ru). It is not affected by oxygen or water and is only soluble in aqua regia or molten alkalis.
The applications for platinum are numerous and varied, for example it is used to make standards of weights and measures, it is used in the electronic industry for electrical contacts subject to elevated temperatures and in the manufacture of electrodes subject to chemical attacks.
This product is only supplied on demand, and its price is calculated based on the platinum futures market, being 950 USD for the price shown.
Therefore, a specific economic proposal will be made if it is of interest to you, and the offered price will be respected as long as it does not experience an increase of more than 5% to the 950 USD of the contract in the platinum futures market, being the final price adjusted to the variation that occurs if it is greater, and also in the event of a decrease in the contract price greater than 5% of the absolute value.
