Silicon is a typical semi-metal from the carbon group. It has properties of both metals and non-metals and is considered a semiconductor. Pure silicon has very low electrical conductivity. In contrast, its thermal conductivity is very high. Silicon is resistant to acids and water, but is soluble in hot alkali solutions with hydrogen evolution. Silicon has 23 isotopes. Three of these are stable and occur naturally.

If you would like to purchase silicon, please contact us. We are a reliable supplier of pure silicon, as we deliver quickly and easily.

The single crystals of silicon are sawn into thin wafers, which are used to manufacture microchips and semiconductors. Silicon is also used in most solar cells.  As a semiconductor material, pure silicon is used in blue light-emitting diodes. Pure silicon serves as an alloying additive in aluminium alloys. Silicon in the form of silicon carbide is an important abrasive for the manufacture of refractory materials.

Pure silicon has the following properties:

• Semimetal with properties of metals and non-metals;
• Semiconductor;
