Palladium is one of the metals in the group known as the Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) which also includes Platinum, Rhodium, Ruthenium, Iridium & Osmium. It finds typical use in aircraft spark plugs, surgical instruments, electrical contacts, and blood-sugar test strips.
SCI has the ability to recycle and reuse PGM sputtering targets, which has led to huge savings for our customers. Reach out to us today if you use any PGM materials.
