Optipur®

Coatings Effect Pigments preview Application by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

HIGH PURITY COMPOUNDS FOR MOST DEMANDING APPLICATIONS

Our Optipur® materials are of highest purity, exceeding the needs of high end single crystal applications and thin film detectors.

High performance Optipur® 

Owing to the high purity, Optipur® materials are specifically suited for the production of single crystals as used in demanding optical applications or for scintillators in medical imaging applications.

Optipur® sodium iodide (NaI) and cesium iodide (CsI) are widely used as precursors for single crystal growth for the production of scintillator imaging plates in medical applications. These crystals are typically doped with thallium iodide (TlI), which we offer in beaded form for improved handling and reduced safety risks.

The Optipur® portfolio consists of an extensive range of inorganic compounds, mostly metal halides, which are available as anhydrous powders or in beaded form for immediate usability and easy handling.
