The document discusses bismuth, including its uses and companies that produce it. Bismuth compounds are used as catalysts in manufacturing synthetic fibers and rubber. When combined with other metals, bismuth forms low-melting point alloys used in fire detectors and extinguishers. Major bismuth producing companies are listed. The document also notes that pharmaceuticals like Pepto-Bismol are a prominent application of bismuth, and it finds other uses in cosmetics, pigments, and alloys. End user industries use bismuth compounds derived from the metal like oxides, nitrates, and salicylate.

Once the bismuth is all melted, turn off the heat and let it cool down. As the metal cools, it will
create crystals under the surface.

Bismuth compounds are used as catalysts
in the manufacturing process of synthetic
fiber and rubber. When bismuth is
combined with other metals such as lead,
tin, iron and cadmium, it forms alloys with
low melting points that can be used in fire
detectors and extinguishers.

“Pharmaceuticals” is a prominent application of bismuth, where it is
used as an indigestion remedy under the brand name Pepto-Bismol.
Additionally, bismuth also finds application in cosmetics, industrial
pigments, metallurgical additives, and fusible alloys. Most of the
bismuth applications use bismuth in small quantities.
Moreover, end user chemical industries namely, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and
industrial pigments use bismuth compounds which are derived from bismuth.
Bismuth oxides, nitrates, bismuth salicylate, bismuth oxychloride are prominent
derivatives of bismuth metals.
