· KBO2

KBO2 is a potassium borate ceramic compound belonging to the borate glass-ceramic family, valued for its optical transparency and thermal stability. It finds application in optics, laser systems, and specialized glass coatings where its borate composition provides good refractive properties and chemical durability. Engineers select borate ceramics like KBO2 when transparency combined with thermal resistance is critical, though availability and cost often limit use to research or specialized industrial applications rather than high-volume manufacturing.

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.
