Ruthenium
We supply ruthenium powder and single crystal disc as well as ruthenium (III) chloride hydrated and ruthenium (IV) oxide hydrated. Ruthenium is used in electrical contacts and is a versatile catalyst. It has interesting potential applications in microchips and hard disc drives where a thin film can increase durability. Ruthenium tetroxide exposes fingerprints by reacting with the deposits to produce a dark pigment.
