Platinum Rod Description
Platinum Rod refers to a cylindrical piece of platinum, which can vary in length and diameter, composed of platinum metal. Platinum is a dense, malleable, ductile, highly unreactive, precious, silver-white transition metal. It's known for its remarkable corrosion resistance, even at high temperatures, and is considered a noble metal. Due to its high melting point and chemical inertness, platinum rods are used in laboratory apparatus for high-temperature applications and situations requiring non-reactive containers or stirrers. Platinum Rod features excellent conductivity and stability under a wide range of conditions, which is suitable for use in electrical contacts, electrodes, and other components where reliable performance is critical.
