Cadmium is very resistant to corrosion, particularly in acidic and seawater environments. It has a low melting temperature, good electrical and thermal conductivity. Compounds containing cadmium possess an amazing resistance to high stress and high temperature. They also lower ultraviolet light degradation of certain plastics. Some cadmium electronic compounds exhibit semi-conducting properties, so they are used in solar cells and many electronic appliances. Cadmium pigments produce intense yellow, orange and red colors, and are widely used in plastics, glasses, ceramics, enamels and artists’ colors.<ref name=Cadmium>[http://www.cadmium.org/ Cadmium] Unknown author, International Cadmium Association, Accessed December 1st, 2010.</ref> | Cadmium is very resistant to corrosion, particularly in acidic and seawater environments.
