Are you looking for platinum prices? Would you like to receive them in the local currency of Bangladesh and not in other currencies unknown to you?
Platinum is a chemical element with atomic number 78 located in group 10 of the periodic table of elements. Its symbol is “Pt”. It is a precious, heavy, malleable and ductile greyish-white transition metal. It is corrosion resistant, does not dissolve in most acids (but does dissolve in aqua regia), and is found in various minerals, often together with nickel and copper.
Currently platinum is mainly used as a catalyst in car exhausts (40% of world production is used for this). It also has an important application in the jewelry industry (highly valued metal), in the medicine industry, in investments, military uses and in chemical products. It can be said that almost 50% of the metallic materials we use today are made with some platinum.
For a country as densely populated as Bangladesh, being stocked with platinum is very important. Its population is growing at a fast pace and therefore, the production of cars multiplies, medical supplies increase, chemical products are used more and more and therefore, the use of platinum grows every day. For a person from that country, being up to date with prices in their currency is very important. That is why Metals-API came to the world to offer a solution to this problem.
