· JVASP-113642· NaAlH

Sodium alanate (NaAlH₄) is a complex metal hydride compound in the lightweight hydride family, primarily studied as a hydrogen storage material rather than a structural metal. This material is investigated in research contexts for reversible hydrogen absorption and release, making it relevant to hydrogen energy systems where high gravimetric storage density is critical. NaAlH₄ offers potential advantages over conventional hydrogen compression or liquefaction methods, though it remains largely experimental for practical engineering applications.

Export Control

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.
