· JVASP-41808· ErCl2

Erbium dichloride (ErCl₂) is an inorganic ceramic compound containing the rare-earth element erbium in the +2 oxidation state. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than a commodity engineering material, used mainly in optical, electronic, and materials science applications where rare-earth properties are leveraged.

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.
