American Elements is a manufacturer and supplier specializing in the Chloride, Nitrate, Acetate, Carbonate, Sulfate, Oxalate, Iodide and Carbide of Cerium, Lanthanum, Erbium, Neodymium, Yttrium and all the other Rare Earth elements, Gallium, Hafnium, Scandium, Niobium, Indium, Ruthenium, Zirconium as well as other advanced elements.

The Chloride and Nitrate compounds are used when a highly soluble form is required. The Nitrate is best when Chloride salts are an issue for the application. Iodide and Sulfate are also common substitutes for Chloride. Carbide compounds tend to be extremely hard, refractory and resistant to wear, corrosion and heat, making them excellent candidates for coatings for drills and other tools.We supply Chloride, Nitrate, Sulfate, Iodide and Carbide forms of the transition metals Platinum, Silver, Gold, Rhodium and other many elements. Purities include 99%, 99.9%, 99.99%, 99.999% and 99.9999% which are sometimes referred to as 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N and 6N. These products are also available in an ultra dry form.

Physical properties include nanopowder, nano particle, submicron, - 325 mesh, rod, foil,  and high surface area metal and oxide with particle distribution and particle size controlled and certified.  We produce larger - 40 mesh, - 100 mesh, -200 mesh range sizes and < 0.5 mm,  2 mm, 5 mm and other mm size shot, granules, lump, flake and pieces, too.
