· JVASP-138216· BiC2

BiC₂ is a boron-carbon ceramic compound belonging to the family of refractory carbides and borocarbides. This material combines boron and carbon in a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio to create a hard, high-melting-point ceramic suitable for extreme thermal and mechanical environments. BiC₂ is of significant interest in research and advanced applications where conventional carbides may be insufficient, particularly where boron's unique properties—including neutron absorption, high hardness, and thermal stability—offer advantages over single-element carbide systems.

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.
