Indium triacetate(CAS: 25114-58-3)

Indium triacetate is a chemical compound with the formula In(OAc)₃, where In represents indium and OAc is the acetate ion. It is a white, water-insoluble powder with a faint metallic odor. This compound is used in various applications such as in the production of indium tin oxide coatings, laser dyes, and as a precursor for indium-based compounds.

Indium triacetate is mainly used in the production of indium tin oxide (ITO) coatings for glass substrates in displays, as a precursor for synthesizing indium-based materials, and in the manufacture of laser dyes and pigments. It is also used in the electronics industry for thin-film transistors (TFTs) and other semiconductor applications.

Indium triacetate is considered safe for industrial use when proper handling and safety measures are followed. However, prolonged exposure to the skin or inhalation of dust can be harmful. It is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and a respirator. Always ensure good ventilation and avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Indium triacetate should be stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should be kept at room temperature (15-25°C) and protected from humidity. The container should be tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect its stability and effectiveness. Avoid storing it near heat sources or other flammable materials.
