· JVASP-107084· YBC

YBC is a yttrium barium copper oxide ceramic compound, most commonly encountered as YBa₂Cu₃O₇ (YBCO), a high-temperature superconductor discovered in 1987. This material is primarily used in superconducting applications where it operates below its critical temperature, enabling zero electrical resistance and magnetic field exclusion. Its significance lies in being one of the first practical superconductors to operate above the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77 K), making it more economically viable than earlier low-temperature superconductors and spurring widespread research and industrial adoption in electromagnetic systems.

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.
