UP TO 99.999% PURE SILVER CATALYST ENHANCES FORMALDEHYDE PRODUCTION
With our specialized expertise in precious metals, Materion manufactures high purity silver catalyst used in formaldehyde production. Our silver catalyst is available in crystalline or needle form, in a wide spectrum of screen sizes to meet customer requirements.
VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS DEPENDENT ON SILVER CATALYSTS
Because of its unique chemical properties, silver catalyst is important in creating multiple industrial compounds. Formaldehyde is the building block of solid plastics adhesives, laminating resins for construction plywood and particle board. Our silver catalysts are used in formaldehyde production for products such as finishes for paper, electronic equipment, textiles, surface coatings that resist heat and scratches, dinnerware, appliance casings, packaging materials, automotive parts, electrical insulating materials, toys, glue, varnishes and disinfectants.
PURE SILVER CATALYST IS COST EFFICIENT
Our leading-edge manufacturing process provides an advanced material solution for needle silver catalyst. A number of factors contribute to the cost efficiency including:
- High Surface Area
- High Yield
- Long Catalyst Bed Life
- High Purity – typically up to 99.999% with less than 100 ppm trace elements
