· JVASP-114751· CdF3

Cadmium fluoride (CdF₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the halide family, valued primarily for its optical and thermal properties in specialized applications. It is used in infrared optics, fluoride glass systems, and thermal management applications where its transparency to infrared wavelengths and chemical stability are advantageous. CdF₃ is notably more thermally stable than many alternative cadmium compounds and offers superior IR transmission compared to standard optical glasses, though its use is increasingly restricted in some regions due to cadmium's toxicity, making it relevant primarily for high-performance applications where alternatives cannot match performance requirements.

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.
