· JVASP-39037· SmTa3

SmTa3 is a ceramic compound composed of samarium and tantalum, belonging to the family of rare-earth tantalate ceramics. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest for high-temperature applications, valued for its refractory properties and potential use in extreme thermal environments where conventional ceramics reach their limits. Engineers consider SmTa3 when designing components for aerospace thermal barriers, nuclear reactor applications, or specialized high-temperature structural systems where thermal stability and chemical inertness 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.
