Overview of Selenium

Selenium is a versatile non-metal element widely used in industrial, electronic, glass, and chemical applications. It appears as a grey to black powder and is valued for its photoconductive properties, chemical stability, and essential role in speciality manufacturing. Selenium is obtained from various mineral sources and is processed for industrial-grade applications.

In industrial and manufacturing sectors, Selenium is primarily used in glass decolourisation, pigment production, electronic components, metallurgy, and chemical synthesis. Its high purity and consistent quality make it suitable for professional industrial use. ChemicalBull supplies industrial-grade Selenium, ensuring reliable performance and compliance with international standards.
