American Elements is the world leader in materials science know-how. American Elements has been a key source for academic research, advancement and new product development for over a decade. Our fundamental expertise in the properties, applications, and cost-effective manufacturing of advanced and engineered materials, including ultra high purity refining (99.9999%) and nanotechnology (Mono Atomic Elements) scales allows us to meet the informational and materials needs of global manufacturers, national laboratories, universities, and our customers in a wide variety of industry groups, including energy, electronics, aerospace, defense, automotive, optics, and pharma/cosmetics.

We offer technical information and manufactured products for over 3,000 elemental metal, metallic compound, ceramic and crystalline catalog items and numerous customer proprietary formulations from our facilities in the United States and China and offices in the U.S., Europe, Australia and Brazil.

Advanced Materials on a Commercial Scale

Our operations are fully staffed and equipped to bulk manufacture the advanced elements in virtually every purity and physical morphology that nature and current technology commercially allow, including the entire rare earth series, ultra high purity forms of most metals, complex single phase doped structures using either co-precipitation or calcination/re-crystallization processes, macro, meso and nanoscale powders with highly specific particle distributions, shapes and surface areas and custom grown single and polycrystalline crystal of the III-V and II-VI compounds with special orientations, purities and dopants.

From Inspiration to Full Production...

Because of the depth of our capabilities, many Fortune 500 companies, as well as, university, government and institutional-backed start up ventures, bring us in at the beginning of product development. We will immediately deliver a wealth of materials experience to your program so you can avoid "reinventing the wheel" or pursuing known dead ends. We will facilitate a cost effective, well-planned and documented ramp up from basic research and development to commercialized tonnage level production, all under the strictest proprietary information controls.

...at the Lowest Cost

Since our production begins at the mine in our mineral refining and chemical separations operations in China, Mexico and the U.S., your cost will remain as low as your specifications demand. The combination of world class U.S. based research, development, analysis and certification with a fully integrated global manufacturing operation allows us to both certify to the highest possible U.S. standards and at the same time provide materials at the lowest possible world prices.

State of the Art Analysis

American Elements' operations (and working together, your program) are supported by state-of-the-art research and analytical laboratory facilities managed by Ph.D. level staff, including chemical analysis by AA and ICP; crystal and phase structure analysis by X-Ray diffraction; and particle morphology by SEM, BET specific surface area analysis, and particle distribution analysis. Our advanced ceramic powders can be tested and certified on a plethora of additional performance basis, including among them strength, density, stability, flowability and ionic or electric conductivity/resistivity. See Custom Synthesis, Tolling and Product Development for further ways we team up with our customers to allow them to cost effectively develop new and exciting products.

The American Elements Pledge: Documented Processes, Accurately Certified

The world's most important technology companies know American Elements' products will always be as certified, and all future orders will be materially identical. That's because manufacturing begins with written standard operating procedures (SOP) established for all product codes. Certification is merely a final analytical confirmation of a series of documented GMP in-process control gates and measurements. Over the years, our extremely high level of batch-to-batch consistency has allowed many global enterprises to confidently move new innovations to full commercialization. We wish to thank the many companies who rely on the American Elements Pledge of Quality and Consistency. A few are recognized here. Thank you!
