ceramic· JVASP-145231· HgWO4
Mercury tungstate (HgWO4) is an inorganic ceramic compound formed from mercury and tungsten oxide, belonging to the class of heavy-metal tungstate ceramics. This material is primarily of research interest rather than widespread industrial use, with applications explored in radiation detection, photocatalysis, and specialized optical systems where its high density and tungstate chemistry offer potential advantages. Engineers would consider HgWO4 in niche applications requiring heavy-element compositions or in fundamental studies of tungstate material properties, though toxicity concerns and limited commercial availability make it unsuitable for most conventional engineering designs.

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.
