· Ca2 B8 O14

Ca2B8O14 is a calcium borate ceramic compound belonging to the borate glass-ceramic family, characterized by a complex boron-oxygen network with calcium as a stabilizing alkaline earth cation. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for optical, thermal management, and structural applications, where borate ceramics are valued for their low melting points, chemical durability, and potential for specialized refractive properties. Compared to conventional silicate ceramics, calcium borates offer advantages in specific thermal or optical niches, though industrial deployment remains limited to specialized sectors such as thermal barrier coatings, optical fibers, or high-temperature sealing applications.

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.
