· BaTiO3

Barium titanate (BaTiO₃) is a ceramic perovskite compound that functions as a ferroelectric semiconductor, exhibiting strong spontaneous polarization and high dielectric permittivity. It is widely used in capacitors, actuators, and piezoelectric devices across consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial control systems, where its ability to generate mechanical deformation under electric field or electrical response under mechanical stress is exploited. Engineers select BaTiO₃ for applications requiring compact energy storage, precise positioning, or electromechanical conversion where its ferroelectric and piezoelectric response outperforms conventional ceramics.

Export Control

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.
