· Ca1 B6

Calcium hexaboride (CaB₆) is a ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth boride family, characterized by a cubic crystal structure with high hardness and thermal stability. While primarily investigated in research and specialized applications rather than mainstream manufacturing, CaB₆ shows promise in thermionic emission devices, refractory applications, and semiconductor contexts due to its low work function and chemical durability at elevated temperatures.

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.
