Arsenic
Arsenic is a specialized technology metal with high relevance for the semiconductor, glass and alloy industries. Used in a controlled form, it enables top technical performance - from infrared sensors to high-frequency components.
We supply what semiconductors and high-tech need
Arsenic is used where standard materials reach their limits.
Whether as a dopant in semiconductors or as an amplifier in special alloys - arsenic ensures conductivity, precision and thermal resilience.
Despite its toxicological challenges, it is irreplaceable in many key technologies.
We supply arsenic, controlled, quality-assured and traceable.
Arsenic in figures - 2024
01
Arsenic is mainly produced worldwide as a by-product of copper, lead and gold extraction - in the form of arsenic (As₂O₃) or as a high-purity metal.
02
Important production countries are China, Russia, Morocco and Peru.
03
Demand comes primarily from the semiconductor industry (e.g. gallium arsenide), specialty glass production, metallurgy and pyrotechnics.
04
The German Commodities Group cooperates with specialized providers who guarantee technical purity and safe transport solutions for products containing arsenic.
Precisely dosed. Safely delivered.
We trade arsenic in the form of arsenic, pure substance, alloy additives and intermediate products - tailored to the requirements of electronics manufacturers, materials engineers and specialty chemicals companies.
We know the risks - and deliver with expertise, responsibility and technical standards.
