Yes, trial orders are available for most products, excluding custom-engineered alloys. Please select the “Trial quantity required” option when submitting your RFQ form.
Lead times vary depending on the type of order. Below is an overview of typical processing and delivery times for our main order categories:
- Trial batch orders are typically dispatched within 5 business days from the date of payment receipt.
- Ultra high-purity metals purchase orders are fulfilled within 7–14 business days from the date of advance payment under the main agreement, depending on quantity and destination.
- Custom alloy wire manufacturing orders include a development phase and are scheduled individually based on product complexity, specification, and volume.
Lead time for each custom alloy wire contract is determined jointly with the client and includes both production and quality assurance stages.
Yes, we can arrange logistics and deliver to any international airport specified by the buyer.
Our order processing follows a structured and transparent workflow aligned with Incoterms 2020 practices:
- Client: submits an LOI (Letter of Intent) or RFQ form to Pure Metals.
- Jointly: we clarify and confirm all technical and commercial details of the LOI/RFQ.
- Pure Metals: issues an FCO (Full Corporate Offer). We intentionally skip SCO (Soft Corporate Offer) to streamline the process.
- Client: confirms the FCO and provides proof of funds (BCL or equivalent banking document).
- Optionally: a trial quantity shipment may be arranged under an accelerated procedure, based on a simplified standalone agreement. Upon receipt, the client confirms that the product quality meets the required specifications.
- Pure Metals: drafts the contract and coordinates revisions with the client.
- Both parties: sign the final contract.
- Client: makes a partial advance payment — typically 25% of the total value of the initial product batch.
- Pure Metals: dispatches the goods and provides the transport documentation to the client.
- Client: completes final payment and receives the goods at the destination in accordance with the transport documentation and agreed delivery terms.
Absolutely. Once your RFQ or LOI is agreed upon and the FCO is signed, we’d be happy to arrange a visit to one of our warehouses that best suits your order specifics. If needed, we can also organize self-pickup of your order from the warehouse under the appropriate Incoterms 2020, making the process as smooth and convenient for you as possible.
Yes, we assist with all necessary documentation to help streamline logistics, compliance, and customs clearance — regardless of the products combination or technical specifications in your order.
Yes, every delivery includes a lab certificate to verify product purity and ensure batch-to-batch consistency.

Ultra High Purity Lead Powder: Material Profile
Lead Powder 6N (99.9999%) – Technical Description Physical and Chemical Properties Lead is a dense, malleable post-transition metal with an electron configuration of Xe4f^14 5d^10 6s^2 6p^2. This configuration determines its chemical behavior, characterized by high corrosion resistance and the ability to form stable protective oxide layers. Lead has a melting point of 327.5°C, a boiling point of 1749°C, and a high density of approximately 11.34 g/cm³.Among specialized materials, ultra-high purity lead stands out for its exceptional capability as a radiation shield and its unique isotopic stability. These characteristics, combined with extreme purity levels, make 6N (99.9999%) lead powder indispensable in fields such as microelectronics (low-alpha soldering), nuclear physics, and high-precision radiation detection. At this level of purity, the material’s performance is highly sensitive to trace contaminants. The presence of impurities such as silver (Ag), copper (Cu), bismuth (Bi), or iron (Fe) at the ppb (parts per billion) level can alter the metal’s properties, potentially increasing background radiation noise or interfering with the crystal lattice structure in semiconductor applications.
Product Form and Handling
Extreme-purity lead is supplied in the form of a fine powder, characterized by a specific particle size distribution (10–50 μm) and a controlled morphology. The powder consists of uniform, silvery-gray particles produced through specialized vacuum atomization or chemical precipitation processes to ensure maximum structural homogeneity. Due to the high surface-to-volume ratio of the powder, handling requirements are stringent. Each batch is hermetically sealed in double-layered polyethylene or vacuum-packed under an inert gas (such as Argon). This specialized packaging is vital to prevent oxidation, eliminate moisture adsorption, and maintain the “six nines” purity during transit and storage. Such measures ensure the material remains uncontaminated and ready for high-tech industrial use upon arrival.
Applications of Ultra High-Purity Lead Powder (6N)
Ultra high-purity lead, defined by its extraordinary 99.9999% (6N) purity level, is a critical material for industries where the slightest atomic-level impurity can compromise performance. Its combination of high density, exceptional radiation shielding capabilities, and unique isotopic stability makes it superior to lower-grade alternatives in high-tech environments. At this “six nines” level, lead is indispensable in:
