· JVASP-121156· IrO

IrO is a ceramic compound in the iridium oxide family, combining iridium metal with oxygen in a ceramic matrix to create a hard, refractory material. This material is primarily used in electrochemical and catalytic applications where chemical stability and electrical conductivity are critical, particularly in chlor-alkali processes, electrodes for water electrolysis, and oxygen evolution reactions. IrO compounds are valued in harsh corrosive environments where traditional ceramics or metals would degrade, making them essential for industrial-scale electrochemical manufacturing despite their high material cost.

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.
