Cadmium Granular AR 100g
Lead Time: 3-4 Weeks
Cadmium granular AR (Analytical Reagent) is a high-purity form of cadmium primarily used in laboratory analyses, chemical manufacturing, and industrial applications. Its main functions range from acting as a reducing agent in testing procedures to being a raw component in specialized metal alloys
Analytical & Laboratory Uses
Nitrate Reduction: Used as a reducing agent in analytical chemistry to reduce nitrates to nitrites, which is a standard step in water testing and agricultural analysis.
Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a high-purity starting material to create various cadmium salts and compounds for specific research applications.

Industrial & Manufacturing Uses
Electroplating: Utilized to provide a sacrificial, corrosion-resistant coating on steel, iron, and copper. It is highly valued in the aerospace and defence sectors for resisting salt-spray and marine corrosion.
Alloy Production: Acts as an alloying agent to combine with other nonferrous metals to produce low-melting-point alloys and bearing metals.
Battery Manufacturing: Serves as a raw material in the production of nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) rechargeable battery electrodes.
Solar & Semiconductor Technology: Used in the creation of cadmium telluride (CdTe) for highly efficient thin-film photovoltaic solar cells.
Pigments & Stabilizers: Employed as a chemical precursor to create bright red, orange, and yellow pigments for plastics, ceramics, and glasses, as well as heat stabilisers for PVC.
Safety & Environmental Guardrails
Cadmium is a highly toxic, cumulative heavy metal with no known beneficial biological function in humans.
Hazards: Inhalation of fumes or dust and ingestion can cause acute poisoning, kidney damage, and is classified as a human carcinogen.
Handling: Always handle with appropriate PPE (respiratory protection, gloves, and protective clothing) and ensure strict adherence to local disposal regulations to prevent environmental pollution.
