Indium makes touchscreens touchable and solar panels efficient through its presence in indium tin oxide (ITO), a transparent conductor that also shows up in smart devices, thin-film coatings, and de-icing glass. It is also important in semiconductors, specialized solders, and even fire-sprinkler systems. Umicore produces high-purity indium for electronics and recovers it from ITO production residues, supporting sustainable supply in this increasingly in-demand material.
