Electrolysis and High-Energy Processes: How Colloids Are Made
Why simple electrolysis reaches its limits with gold, which elements refuse it entirely — and what high-energy processes are needed for.
Masterpiece
The Untouchable One
Colloidal Tantalum
Colloidal tantalum — a graphite-grey, lustrous metal of utmost corrosion resistance that practically does not react with body tissue or fluids. With a melting point beyond 3000 °C it is among the hardest elements of all to colloidize.

On request you will receive a personal production video of your element from the cleanroom. Simply mention it in your enquiry.
Named after King Tantalus, who stood in water yet could not drink — for tantalum too “drinks” nothing, even when standing in acid.
Worth Knowing
Its complete inertness towards the body makes tantalum a material for implants and surgical instruments.
Almost every smartphone contains a tantalum capacitor — it is the quiet metal of miniaturization.
