· JVASP-140684· PuB12

PuB12 is a rare-earth boride ceramic compound combining plutonium with boron in a dodecaboride structure. This material belongs to the family of actinide borides, which are primarily of research and specialized nuclear/defense interest rather than widespread industrial use. PuB12 is notable for its potential high-temperature stability and refractory properties, though its applications are highly restricted due to plutonium's radioactive nature and associated regulatory constraints.

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.
