General description

Indium, a rare and stable element, exhibits exceptional properties such as high thermal and electrical conductivity. These characteristics make indium a vital component in various applications, particularly in the electronics industry, where it is used in indium tin oxide (ITO) for transparent conductive coatings in touch screens, and displays. Additionally, it is also utilized in the production of solar cells, LEDs, and other optoelectronic devices.
