PLATINUM

Platinum is a very heavy and chemically extremely resistant precious metal of silver-white color.

High-grade, durable, malleable and ductile metal, electrically and thermally medium conductive. In nature it occurs mainly in pure form.

Due to their mechanical properties and chemical resistance, platinum and especially its rhodium and iridium alloys are used to produce durable chemical dishes for decomposing samples by melting or high temperature combustion. In the glass industry, it is the basic material of special furnaces for the production of optical fibers.
