Products
High-purity cesium iodide (CsI) beads and powder
Anhydrous cesium iodide supplied as beads or powder at ultra-high purity for use in scintillators, photovoltaics and other specialty applications.
High-purity alumina (alpha and gamma) powders and sintered pellets
High-purity alumina products produced via solvent-extraction/refining processes and marketed through a distribution partnership; used for optical crystals, ceramics, coatings and catalysts.
Hafnium halide precursors (HfCl4, HfI4)
High-purity hafnium halide powders used as ALD/CVD precursors and in further synthesis such as production of hafnium-containing scintillator compounds.
