Platinum Tipped Tong Description

Platinum (Pt) is a grayish-white precious metal with high density, high ductility, and low reactivity. It is a transition metal. Platinum Tipped Tong is a kind of crucible tong with a platinum tip, ensuring safe handling of crucibles, lids, and evaporating dishes during high-temperature processes. The platinum tip provides excellent resistance to corrosion, high-temperature tolerance, and ensures minimal contamination, making it ideal for metal refining, chemical reactions, and high-temperature material handling. Heeger Metal can supply high-quality platinum tipped tongs in various specifications for multiple industrial and research applications.

Platinum Tipped Tong Applications

  • Metal Refining: Used to handle molten metals during refining processes, ensuring no contamination from the tools.
  • Chemical Reactions: Ideal for handling materials involved in high-temperature chemical reactions where contamination must be minimized.
  • Laboratory Work: Commonly used in labs for handling crucibles, beakers, or other high-temperature vessels during experiments.
  • Sintering and Alloying: Used in the sintering of powders and alloying processes where platinum’s durability is crucial.
  • Handling Molten Glass: Used for handling molten glass or ceramics in specialized glass manufacturing processes.
  • Catalysis: Employed in catalytic processes where the platinum tips prevent contamination and maintain the purity of materials.
  • Electronics and Semiconductor Manufacturing: Utilized in the precise handling of components during high-temperature processes in electronics or semiconductor production.

Platinum Tipped Tong Packaging

Platinum Tipped Tong is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional soft materials to support and prevent shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
