Indium Production Cost Reports

Indium production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Indium production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Indium. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Indium (In) is a rare chemical metal from the Group 13 of the periodic table. It is a rare element which is not found in the environment and is cultivated on lands. It has no biological role, but its small doses help stimulate the metabolism.

Indium looks like a silverish-white metal with lustre and many properties, such as being soft, malleable and ductile. It remains stable in water and air however dissolves in acids. Upon exceeding its melting point, it burns with a violet flame. It has a molecular weight of 114.82 g.mol -1 and a density of 7.31 g.cm-3 at 20°C. Its respective melting and boiling point are 156 °C and 2000 °C.

Indium finds primary usage in the production of indium tin oxide (ITO), which is an important metal used for making touch screens, solar panels, and flatscreen TVs. Furthermore, owing to its ability to stick to glass, it finds use in providing a mirror finish to windows and also offers a protective film on welders’ goggles which is boosting its market growth. It is also used to make corrosive-resistant mirrors.

It is used to make automobile bearings that enhance anti-seizure properties and moisture resistance. In the electronic industry, it finds use in the production of transistors, photoconductors, rectifiers, and diodes. Also, it has other uses including in the manufacturing of diodes in semiconductor firms, in plating applications, and in making bearings which are moisture-resistant and ones with improved anti-seizure characteristics.
