Mercury 9N
We supply high-purity mercury (99.9999999%) in sealed ampoules, a grade supplied to industries requiring ultra-pure materials, chiefly in the microelectronics and optronics sector for the production of semiconductors (infrared photodetection, HgCdTe).
Manufactured ampoules
This high-purity mercury is of the quality required for the production of monocrystals and epitaxiy layers such as double cadmium-mercury tellurides.
Grade of mercury | Packaging | Application |
Min. 99.9999999% | 1 to 1600g | Microelectronics |
9N mercury is produced by hexadistillation using a special reactor. This very high purity material is designed for the production of mercury-cadmium-telluride (MCT) monocrystals. Grade 9N electronic mercury is always packed in sealed glass ampoules; this specially produced form of packaging is done on request for a unit capacity of 1 to 1600 grams.
The guaranteed purity is at least 99.9999999% (9N); the detection of impurities depends on the analytical sensitivity applicable to this material.
Silver, aluminium, copper and gold content less than 1 ppb.

We buy, recycle and refine metal mercury, with a twofold objective: the reuse of unused or abandoned stocks in order to avoid mining; the recycling and refining of our end-user customers' mercury.
