Product Overview
Gallium lumps are high-purity gallium materials with a purity range of 4N to 6N. With a low melting point of 29.76°C, gallium transitions to a silver-white liquid at this temperature. Its unique undercooling properties allow it to remain in liquid form even when cooled to 0°C. In solid form, gallium is a silver-white metal with a hardness of 1.5–2.5 and a density of 5.904 g/cm³. Gallium has excellent stability, low vapor pressure at high temperatures, and is vacuum-sealed to preserve its purity and properties.
