· JVASP-145260· URuC2

URuC₂ is a uranium-ruthenium carbide ceramic compound, representing a refractory ceramic material in the actinide carbide family. This material belongs to a class of high-melting-point intermetallic carbides that exhibit exceptional hardness and thermal stability, making it relevant for extreme-environment applications where conventional ceramics reach their limits. As a uranium-bearing compound, URuC₂ is primarily of research interest rather than widespread industrial use, with potential applications in nuclear fuel development, advanced refractory systems, and materials science investigations into actinide compound behavior.

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.
