· JVASP-117513· BTe

BTe is a ceramic compound in the boron telluride family, representing a wide-bandgap semiconducting ceramic with potential applications in high-temperature and radiation-resistant environments. While not a mainstream industrial material, BTe and related boron chalcogenides are of research interest for specialized electronic and photonic applications where conventional semiconductors fail. Its notably low density combined with ceramic stability makes it relevant for weight-critical, high-performance applications in aerospace and nuclear contexts.

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.
