CHARACTERISTIC SILVER FEATURES AND APPLICATIONS

Silver possesses unique features,which made it an absolutely essential metal in human history.

This white precious metal is:
- elastic
- fatigue-resistant
- corrosion-resistant
- tensile.
Furthermore it's long-lived and resists heat.
A further extraordinary characteristic: The white metal possesses the best thermic and electric conductivity of all metals.
What is also interesting is the fact that silver has the highest reflectivity and apsorptivity for light, of all the metals on earth.
In addition to these unique features, there's the advantage of its softness, which makes silver  easy to forge.

Because of the constantly increasing applications for silver, the industrial use of the white metal doesn't even decrease in times of a bad economic development.
Silver is, because of its numerous unique features, indispensable for the production of many goods.
