ReO≥77% Yttrium Fluoride (YF₃) CAS 13709-49-4 for Optical Materials, Laser Crystals, Ceramic Materials, and Specialty Functional Material Applications

1. Product Overview

Yttrium Fluoride (YF₃) is an important rare earth fluoride material and a high-value functional inorganic material.

Yttrium fluoride exhibits good chemical stability, high-temperature resistance, and excellent optical properties. It is mainly used in optical crystals, laser materials, infrared materials, specialty ceramics, and high-performance functional material applications.

According to the rare earth fluoride product indicator system, yttrium fluoride primarily focuses on ReO (total rare earth oxide content), F content, oxygen content, and loss on ignition indicators. Typical specifications are ReO≥77%, F≥39%, O≤1000 ppm, and loss on ignition ≤1500 ppm.

For the Russian market, this product is mainly targeted at optical material enterprises, laser crystal companies, ceramic material enterprises, rare earth material enterprises, and traders of high-purity inorganic materials.
