The Department deals with research and production of special products and alloys based on platinum and other precious metals. The main products are:
- catalyst nets
- thermocouples
- laboratory dishes
- Fisher and Winkler electrodes,
- semi-finished products of gold and silver
- semi-finished products of platinum
Catalyst nets:
- Chemical composition: PtgRh5%Pd5%; PtRh10%
- Wire diameter: ∅0.06 to ∅0.08 mm
- Net diameter: ∅1,270 – 3,995 mm
They are applied in the chemical industry, in the process of nitric acid production.
