Indium is a highly versatile minor metal with a unique combination of properties. Physically, indium exhibits high ductility, low electrical resistivity and high thermal conductivity. As a result of its physical properties, it is particularly suited to being used as a sealing material in vacuum systems and also as bonding material in acoustic transducers. Indium is also widely used in the manufacture of "fusible" materials, a range of alloys which have low melting points and can be used as thermal fuses and solders, Lead-Free Solder P, Electronic Conductive Adhesives (ECA).
Photovoltaic (PV) applications could become another large market opportunity for indium. Thin-film PV technologies - including copper-indium-gallium-diselenide (CIGS) - accounted for less than 6% of the global solar cell market. Silicon-based technologies continued to dominate with a 94% share. However, a shortage of high-purity polysilicon has prompted the development of thin films, which are less efficient but more economical than the silicon-based counterparts. Flexible CIGS solar cells could be used in roofing materials and in various applications in the aerospace, military, and recreational industries.
