Silver is a, white, lustrous metal capable of taking a high polish.
Due to its extraordinary technical properties it is used in a wide range of applications.
Silver is the metal with the highest electrical conductivity of all metals and is therefore essential for light- and heavy current engineering.
In addition, silver is the most malleable metal after gold. Its outstanding anti-fretting properties makes it the perfect coating for high stress application such as slide bearings in the aerospace industry.
