Palladium
Chemical symbol: Pd
Specific gravity: 12.02 g/cm³
Colour: Silver-white
Melting temperature: 1554?C
Palladium is a slightly darker metal than platinum, which it often replaces in the creation of alloys with gold. Combined with gold, it takes on a white colour, creating the white gold used in jewellery.
This metal is used in the manufacture of catalysts, combined in the creation of alloys with nickel for the creation of galvanic contacts. Palladium is also widely used in the creation of dental alloys and in the jewellery sector.
The palladium offered by Banco Villa is guaranteed for the fineness of 999.5&per th. as well as for the impurities aspect as per the ASTM standard. The palladium sold by Banco Villa can also be requested with a traceable batch number and from sustainable and responsible sources (RJC COC).
