Tellurium is a rare semi-metal from the chalcogen group of elements. There are two modifications of tellurium: crystalline or metallic tellurium and amorphous tellurium. The amorphous modification of tellurium is a brown powder. Under standard conditions, it slowly transforms into crystalline tellurium. This is a semiconductor whose electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity behave anisotropically (direction-dependent). However, the electrical conductivity of the metal is very low, but it increases with increasing temperature or when exposed to light. Metallic tellurium is soft, very brittle and can be easily processed into powder.

The price of tellurium is always up to date in the Evek GmbH online shop. We guarantee high quality products and uncomplicated delivery worldwide.

Due to its expensive production, tellurium is not widely used in technical applications. For example, tellurium is used as an alloying additive in steel, copper, aluminium and lead alloys. As an alloying component, it increases corrosion resistance and improves machinability. Tellurium is also used for colouring glass and ceramics, in semiconductor technology and in rewritable CD-RWs.

The main areas of application for tellurium are:

• Metal industry (various alloys to increase corrosion resistance and improve machinability);
• Colouring glass and ceramics;
• Semiconductor technology;
• Manufacture of optical storage discs (CD-RWs, DVD-RWs);
• Vulcanisation of rubber.

Tellurium is characterised by:

• very high brittleness;
• low electrical conductivity;
• anisotropy;
• ease of pulverisation;
• occurring in two modifications.
