Why is ChemPUR the right partner for rhodium lab supplies?
For decades, ChemPUR has stood for high-purity metals, precious metal compounds and specialty chemicals for research, development and industry. As early as 1988, the predecessor company emerged from the environment of Heraeus Feinchemikalien und Forschungsbedarf GmbH. Since 2011, ChemPUR has also been ISO 9001 certified.
In the field of rhodium, we offer you not only individual products, but a broadly positioned specialist range for laboratory supplies and materials research. This includes rhodium powders, granules, foils, wires, sputtering targets, catalysts, rhodium compounds, thermocouple wires and electroplating baths. Research institutions, universities, development departments and industrial laboratories in particular benefit from our technical advice and our experience with high-purity materials. Thanks to our international distributor network, we can also supply almost all materials worldwide and realize custom-made products. ChemPUR – We create connections.
What rhodium purities do we offer?
ChemPUR offers rhodium in high-purity to ultra-high-purity grades for research, analytics and industrial specialty applications. Many of our rhodium products are available with purities of 99.9%, 99.95% or even 99.99%. Examples from our range include:
- Rhodium Powder fine with 99.95%
- Rhodium foils and rhodium wires with 99.9%
- Rhodium sputtering targets with 99.99%
- numerous rhodium compounds with 99.95% metal basis.
The right purity depends heavily on your application. Particularly high purity grades are often required for thin-film technology, catalysis, analytics or materials research. That is why we support you in selecting the appropriate specification for your project. As a specialist supplier of fine chemicals and high-purity metals, we place great value on traceable quality, reproducible material properties and reliable supply for research and industry.
What is rhodium used for in the lab?
Rhodium is one of the most important precious metals for demanding applications in research, analytics and specialty chemistry. Due to its high corrosion resistance, temperature stability and chemical resistance, rhodium is used in numerous laboratory and development fields.
Typical applications include materials research, thin-film technology, surface analysis, catalysis, and high-temperature processes. For example, rhodium is used as a sputtering target for PVD coatings, as high-purity wire for thermocouples, or as a rhodium compound for syntheses and catalysts. Rhodium also plays an important role in precious metal chemistry and in precision measurement applications. ChemPUR supplies research laboratories, universities, institutes and development departments with high-purity rhodium products in various forms and purities. With our expert advice, we support you in selecting the right material quality and delivery form for your application.
Which rhodium forms are available?
ChemPUR offers rhodium in numerous delivery forms for laboratory, research and technical applications. Our range includes both pure rhodium and rhodium alloys and rhodium compounds. Available include, among others:
- Rhodium powder
- Rhodium Black
- Rhodium granules
- Rhodium sponge
- Rhodium foils
- Rhodium wires
- Rhodium sputtering targets
- Rhodium compounds
- Rhodium catalysts
- Rhodium-based thermocouple wires
- Rhodium electroplating baths.
We also supply platinum/rhodium alloys for high-temperature applications and temperature measurement technology. Many products are available in different dimensions, concentrations and quantities—from small lab quantities to project-based requirements. For special requirements, we also support you with custom-made products, individual semi-finished products and technical solutions. This ensures you receive exactly the rhodium product that fits your application.
Does ChemPUR offer rhodium sputtering targets?
Yes, at ChemPUR we also provide high-purity rhodium sputtering targets for thin-film technology, coating processes and materials research. Our range includes rhodium sputtering targets with a purity of up to 99.99%. Rhodium sputtering targets are primarily used in PVD processes, for example for:
- functional thin films
- surface coatings
- research projects in materials science
- microelectronics
- sensor technology
- optical applications.
Thanks to its high chemical resistance and temperature stability, rhodium is ideally suited for demanding coating processes. ChemPUR supports research institutions and development departments in selecting suitable materials, dimensions and purities for their processes. In addition to standard specifications, we also realize customer-specific custom-made products and project-based solutions. Through our international distributor network, we can also make many materials available at short notice.
Is rhodium available for electroplating applications?
Yes, ChemPUR offers rhodium products specifically for electroplating and coating applications. This includes, among other things, the rhodium bath “White Star” with 2 g rhodium per liter for decorative and technical applications. In rhodium electroplating, a thin rhodium layer is deposited electrochemically onto surfaces. This produces particularly hard, corrosion-resistant and glossy coatings. Typical areas of application are:
- jewelry finishing
- electrical contacts
- precision components
- sensors
- technical surface coatings
- high-temperature applications.
Rhodium impresses with its high hardness, chemical resistance and good electrical properties. This makes the precious metal particularly interesting for laboratory, research and industrial applications with high requirements for material quality and surface stability. We supply suitable rhodium solutions for this purpose and provide expert advice to put together appropriate technical and decorative electroplating processes for your requirements.
What applications are rhodium foils suitable for?
Rhodium foils are mainly used in research, materials science, thin-film technology and high-temperature applications. Due to their high corrosion and temperature resistance, they are particularly suitable for demanding laboratory and development processes. Typical areas of application are:
- PVD and evaporation processes
- materials research
- surface analysis
- high-temperature technology
- electrical and thermal applications
- special applications in research laboratories.
ChemPUR offers rhodium foils in various thicknesses and dimensions, for example with thicknesses of 0.03 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.125 mm or 0.25 mm. In addition, we also carry platinum/rhodium foils for special technical applications and high-temperature areas. This means you benefit from high-purity materials, reproducible quality and personal advice when selecting suitable specifications. Especially for sensitive research and development projects, the combination of material quality, technical expertise and reliable delivery is crucial—this is exactly what we at ChemPUR specialize in.
