LaCl3
ceramic· LaCl3
Lanthanum chloride (LaCl₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth chloride family, characterized by ionic bonding and a crystalline structure. It is primarily used in research and industrial applications requiring rare-earth chemistry, including catalyst production, optical materials development, and specialized chemical synthesis. LaCl₃ is notable in the lanthanide chemistry field for its role as a precursor material and as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic transformations, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical manufacturing where selectivity and purity are critical.

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.
