· JVASP-145743· LaTmB12

LaTmB12 is a rare-earth boride ceramic compound combining lanthanum and thulium with boron in a dodecaboride structure. This material represents an emerging class of ultra-hard refractory ceramics under active research, with potential applications in extreme-temperature and wear-resistant environments where conventional ceramics reach their limits. The rare-earth boride family is valued for combined hardness, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance, though LaTmB12 specifically remains largely in the research phase with development focused on understanding its synthesis, mechanical behavior, and suitability for high-performance applications.

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.
