· JVASP-14623· Tm

Thulium (Tm) is a rare-earth lanthanide metal with a silvery appearance and moderately high density. It is primarily used in specialized optical, medical, and nuclear applications where its unique magnetic and spectroscopic properties provide advantages over more common metals. Thulium is notably employed in portable X-ray devices, fiber optic amplifiers for telecommunications, and as a dopant in solid-state lasers, making it essential for niche high-technology sectors despite its scarcity and cost.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

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.
