AMERICAN ELEMENTS ANNOUNCES SILVER OXALATE FOR GLOBAL WARMING RESEARCH AND NANOPOWDER PARTICLES PRODUCTION

[ March 6, 2007, Los Angeles, CA ] American Elements announced today the expansion of its silver oxalate production due to increased demand arising from its use to measure carbon dioxide emissions in studies regarding global warming. Silver Oxalate can introduce carbon dioxide (CO2) into petrologic experiments under controlled temperature and pressure releasing quantifiable metallic silver and CO2 gas. Silver oxalate is also in high demand as a precursor for the production of silver nanparticles which are incorporated in coatings, nano fiber, first aid bandages, plastics, soaps, skin care products and textiles.

The product is available in lot sizes up to 1,000 kg. Small orders are also available for university and corporate R&D programs.
