Handling with Platinum

The excellent resistance of platinum and the platinum group metals (Ir, Rh and Pd) to acids and oxidation at high temperatures, their high melting points and low vapour pressures make these metals indispendable materials for appliances in the chemical laboratory.

However, when using platinum equipment it must be remembered that even platinum is not a universal wonder material which is resistant to everything. For instance, damage can result from elements which form a low-melting phase with platinum, from very aggressive chemical media or from evaporation.

Should problems arise in the course of using platinum equipment or should the solution to a specific problem be required, we are pleased to be at your service with further information.
