· BaO

Barium oxide (BaO) is an alkaline earth oxide ceramic compound with a simple rock-salt crystal structure, known for its high density and strong ionic bonding. It is primarily used in specialty ceramics, glass formulations, and as a precursor material in the production of advanced ceramics and electronic components. Engineers select BaO for applications requiring thermal stability, chemical inertness, and high-temperature performance, though its hygroscopic nature (tendency to absorb moisture) and reactivity with CO₂ require careful handling and storage in sealed environments.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
