CdHg
ceramic· JVASP-127748· CdHg
CdHg (cadmium-mercury compound) is a ceramic material combining two heavy metals into a dense compound form. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, particularly in optoelectronic and radiation-detection applications where its high atomic number and density make it valuable for X-ray and gamma-ray sensing. Engineers select CdHg-based compounds over alternatives when extreme sensitivity to ionizing radiation is required, though environmental and toxicological constraints significantly limit its deployment in consumer and general-purpose 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.
