Description

Yttrium Nitrate Hydrate is an inorganic salt of the rare earth element yttrium, widely used as a high-purity precursor material. This compound is valued for its role in producing specialty materials with unique optical, electronic, and catalytic properties. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in advanced ceramics, phosphors, and chemical synthesis.

Application

• Phosphor Manufacturing: A key raw material for producing yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) used in red phosphors for cathode ray tubes (CRTs), LEDs, and fluorescent lamps.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for catalysts used in petroleum refining, polymerization, and organic synthesis reactions.
• Advanced Ceramics: Used in the production of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) for thermal barrier coatings, oxygen sensors, and solid oxide fuel cells.
• Glass & Optical Materials: Imparts desirable properties like high refractive index and thermal stability to specialty glasses and laser crystals.
• Electronic Materials: A source of yttrium for thin-film deposition and the fabrication of superconductors and other electronic components.
• Research & Development: Employed in laboratories for chemical synthesis and materials science research.

Quality Control

Our Yttrium Nitrate Hydrate is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profiles, and physical characteristics are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, it is recommended to handle and store the product under dry, inert conditions to prevent caking and degradation. Long-term storage should be in a desiccator.
