ceramic· JVASP-135275· LaCl2
Lanthanum dichloride (LaCl₂) is an ionic ceramic compound composed of the rare-earth element lanthanum and chlorine, belonging to the family of lanthanide halides. This material is primarily encountered in research and specialized industrial contexts rather than mainstream engineering applications, serving as a precursor for producing lanthanum metal, lanthanum oxides, and other rare-earth compounds through reduction or thermal decomposition. LaCl₂ is notable for its hygroscopic nature and ionic bonding character, making it valuable in materials synthesis, catalysis research, and high-temperature ceramic chemistry where rare-earth dopants or lanthanum-containing phases are required.

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.
