· JVASP-41612· VCl4

VCl₄ (vanadium tetrachloride) is a transition metal chloride compound that exists primarily as a volatile liquid or vapor at room temperature, belonging to the halide chemistry family of vanadium compounds. This material is encountered mainly in chemical synthesis and research contexts rather than as a structural or finished engineering material—it serves as a precursor compound for producing vanadium oxides, vanadium-containing coatings, and specialty catalysts in laboratory and industrial chemical processes. Engineers and chemists select VCl₄ when precise control over vanadium deposition or catalytic properties is required, though its corrosive and moisture-sensitive nature demands specialized handling and containment.

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.
