Silicon

Description :

Overview of Silicon

Silicon (Si) is a high-purity metalloid element widely used in industrial, electronic, chemical, and material science applications. Available in powder, granular, or wafer form, Silicon is valued for its semiconductor properties, thermal stability, chemical inertness, and high electrical conductivity. It forms the backbone of modern electronics, solar panels, and high-performance industrial materials.

In industrial applications, Silicon is extensively used in semiconductors, solar photovoltaic cells, alloys, silicones, chemical intermediates, and advanced materials. Silicon is also often formulated and combined with other industrial raw materials available on ChemicalBull, such as Zirconia, Tin Powder, Iron Powder, Alumina Powder, and Magnesium Sulphate, enabling manufacturers to create advanced, high-performance products.
