· Lu4 B16

Lu4B16 is a rare-earth boride ceramic compound combining lutetium and boron in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of hexaborides and higher borides, which are ceramic phases known for high hardness and thermal stability. Lu4B16 is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than an established commercial material; it is investigated for potential applications in high-temperature structural ceramics, wear-resistant coatings, and electronic/thermionic devices where the combination of rare-earth and boron chemistry may offer unique properties.

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.
