Ho2 B4 C1
ceramic· Ho2 B4 C1
Ho2B4C is a rare-earth boron carbide ceramic compound combining holmium, boron, and carbon in a mixed-phase structure. This is a specialty research ceramic rather than a widely commercialized material; it belongs to the family of rare-earth borocarbides and refractory ceramics that are studied for extreme-environment applications where conventional ceramics reach their limits. The material is investigated for potential use in high-temperature structural applications, neutron absorption, and advanced shielding systems where rare-earth elements provide unique nuclear and thermal properties unavailable in traditional oxide or carbide ceramics.

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.
