TANTALUM
For Industrial and Commercial Uses
Tantalum is a very versatile metal with a wide range of properties. It is strong, hard, ductile, and malleable, making it well-suited for various applications. It is also highly corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for harsh environments. Tantalum is also relatively inert, making it safe for medical applications. It is expected that the demand for tantalum will continue to grow in the future, with the growing need for electronics, chemical processing, and aerospace applications.
Why buy tantalum from Commodity 1
Commodity 1 has direct access to Nigerian tantalum ores. Nigeria has extensive reserves of untapped tantalum ores. Nigerian tantalum ores usually contain between 30% -45% tantalum – higher than the average level of tantalum ore in other countries. Consequently, buyers will save money due to less processing of tantalum to produce the final metal product.
Commodity 1 has streamlined the shipping process for our valuable customers. Second, due to its proximity to significant tantalum markets, our buyers from China and the United States have a shipping advantage.
With vast reserve tantalum ore reserves in Nigeria, Commodity 1 will always be able to fulfill your orders without delay. The future global market outlook for tantalum is positive. The metal is expected to be in high demand in the coming years due to its unique properties and use in various industries. A Compound annual growth rate [CAGR] of 4.6% is projected for the tantalum market between 2022 and 2028 and afterward, it could jump to 6.0% annually.
