Titanium Amalgam is used to control the mercury vapour pressure inside the lamp. It has the same effect as pure mercury when used in the manufacture of lower-load straight fluorescent lamps or cold cathode lamps.

 

Below 500°C, the titanium amalgam does not decompose or release mercury. Hence, in the process of gas exhaustion, under conditions below 500°C, there is no incidence of mercury pollution. This makes it the most ideal solution to prevent mercury pollution in the lamp manufacturing industry.

 

Titanium amalgam also ensures a more complete vacuum which improves the lamp performance and life.

 

Different sizes of amalgams are available.
