Ho2OsC2
ceramic· JVASP-145314· Ho2OsC2
Ho₂OsC₂ is a rare-earth ceramic compound combining holmium, osmium, and carbon, representing an experimental interstitial carbide in the refractory ceramics family. This material exists primarily in research contexts for high-temperature structural applications, where the combination of a rare-earth metal with osmium—one of the densest and most refractory elements—suggests potential for extreme-environment performance. The compound's notable density and presumed high melting point make it relevant to researchers exploring advanced ceramics for aerospace, nuclear, or ultra-high-temperature environments where conventional refractory carbides reach performance limits.

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.
