Product Name – Gadolinium(III) fluoride, anhydrous, REactOn™, 99.99% (REO) Quantity/Pack Size – 50g, 10g Form – Anhydrous powder Grade – 99.99% (REO) Application – Rare-earth research, optical materials, and high-purity chemical synthesis
Product Overview
Gadolinium(III) fluoride, anhydrous, REactOn™, 99.99% (REO) is a high-purity rare-earth compound designed for demanding laboratory applications. This anhydrous form ensures minimal moisture content, making it suitable for processes where water interference could compromise results. The 99.99% purity (REO) guarantees consistent performance in applications requiring precise stoichiometry, such as advanced material synthesis, optical coatings, and specialized chemical reactions. The fine powder form allows for easy handling and accurate dosing, while the REactOn™ grade ensures reliability in research environments. This product is particularly valued for its stability and low impurity profile, which are critical for experiments involving rare-earth elements. Whether used as a precursor in ceramic production or as a dopant in luminescent materials, this gadolinium fluoride delivers the purity and consistency required for high-precision work.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of gadolinium(III) fluoride?
The anhydrous form has a long shelf life when stored in a sealed container under dry conditions, typically remaining stable for several years.
2. Is this product compatible with standard laboratory glassware?
Yes, it can be safely handled in borosilicate glassware, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or reactive metals.
3. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for cost-sensitive applications?
Lower-grade gadolinium fluoride (e.g., 99.5%) may be available, but purity impacts performance in precision applications.
4. How should this product be stored to maintain its quality?
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
5. What is the source of the gadolinium used in this product?
The gadolinium is sourced from high-quality rare-earth mineral deposits and refined to meet 99.99% REO purity standards.
