Gallium
Vital Materials supplies high-purity gallium used across the compound semiconductor industry, supporting advanced devices based on GaAs, GaN, and GaSb. Gallium is primarily recovered as a by-product of aluminum and zinc refining, and Vital also strengthens supply security through recycling and closed-loop recovery programs.
