· Ho2 B2 O6

Holmium borate (Ho₂B₂O₆) is a rare-earth borate ceramic compound combining holmium, a lanthanide element, with boric oxide in a crystalline structure. This material belongs to the rare-earth borates family, which are primarily investigated for their potential in high-temperature applications, optical properties, and neutron absorption characteristics due to holmium's nuclear cross-section.

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.
