· JVASP-116218· La2N

Lanthanum nitride (La2N) is a rare-earth ceramic compound belonging to the lanthanide nitride family, characterized by a rock-salt-derived crystal structure. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than established commercial production, investigated for potential applications requiring high-temperature stability, chemical inertness, and refractory properties inherent to rare-earth ceramics. Engineers may consider La2N in advanced aerospace, nuclear, or high-temperature electronic applications where the combination of rare-earth chemistry and nitride bonding offers potential advantages over conventional oxides or carbides, though material availability and processing techniques remain limiting factors in industrial adoption.

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.
