· JVASP-90735· UNiC2

UNiC2 is a uranium-nickel carbide composite or intermetallic compound belonging to the family of high-density metal matrix materials. This material is primarily developed for specialized applications requiring extreme density and hardness, typically in defense, aerospace, and industrial tooling sectors where conventional tungsten-based alternatives face performance or cost constraints. The uranium-nickel system offers notably higher density than comparable materials, making it valuable for kinetic penetrator applications and radiation shielding where weight efficiency is critical.

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.
