Erbium oxide for phosphor also called Erbia, an important colourant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes.
High purity erbium oxide for phosphor are widely applied as dopant in making optical fibre and amplifier.
Erbium oxide cas 12061-16-4 is particularly useful as an amplifier for fiber optic data transfer. erbium oxide for phosphor has a pink color, and Erbium oxide cas 12061-16-4 is sometimes used as a colorant for glass, cubic zirconia and porcelain.
The glass is then often used in sunglasses and cheap jewelry.
1. Optical material: Due to its ability to emit light in the infrared spectrum, it is used in the production of optical fibers and lasers, especially in the telecommunications industry.
2. Ceramics: Erbium oxide is used as a dopant in ceramic materials to improve their properties such as thermal stability and color.
3. Phosphor: Phosphorescent material used in displays and lighting that helps produce pink and red colors.
4. Nuclear Application: Erbium oxide can be used as a neutron absorber in nuclear reactors.
5. Glassmaking: It is added to glass to enhance its optical properties and produce colored glass.
6. Catalyst: Erbium oxide can be used as a catalyst for various chemical reactions.
The storeroom is ventilated and dried at low temperature.
Container: Store erbium oxide in tightly sealed containers to prevent contamination and moisture absorption. Glass or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers are usually suitable.
Environment: Store the container in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid storage in places with high humidity as moisture will affect the material.
Label: Clearly label containers with the chemical name and any relevant hazard information.
Safety Precautions: When handling erbium oxide, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and masks, to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
Isolate: Store it away from incompatible substances (especially strong acids or bases) to prevent any potential reactions.
Packaging: Use suitable strong, damage-resistant packaging materials. Containers should be tightly sealed to prevent spillage.
Label: Clearly label the packaging with the chemical name, hazard symbol and any relevant safety information. This includes indicating that it is a rare earth oxide.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Ensure that personnel handling the material wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, goggles, and masks to prevent inhalation or skin contact.
Transportation Regulations: Comply with local, national, and international regulations regarding the transportation of chemical substances. This may include following guidelines established by organizations such as the Department of Transportation (DOT) or the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Avoid incompatible substances: During transportation, erbium oxide should be kept away from incompatible substances, especially strong acids or bases, to prevent any potential reactions.
Temperature control: Ensure a stable transportation environment and do not expose materials to extreme temperatures or humidity.
Emergency Procedures: Develop emergency procedures for accidental releases or exposures during transport. This includes having a spill kit and first aid supplies ready.
1. What is your MOQ?
RE: Usually our MOQ is 1 kg, but sometimes it also is flexible and depends on product.
2. Do you have any after-sales service?
Re: Yes, we will inform you progress of the order, such as product preparation, declaration, transportation follow-up, customs clearance assistance, technical guidance, etc.
