NdCl3 Neodymium Chloride

Product Detail

Brief information Formula: NdCl3.xH2O CAS No.: 10024-93-8 Molecular Weight: 250.60 (anhy) Density: 4.134 g/cm3 Melting point: 758°C Appearance: Purple crystalline aggregates Solubility: Soluble in water, moderately soluble in strong mineral acids Stability: Slightly hygroscopic Multilingual: NeodymChlorid, Chlorure De Neodyme, Cloruro Del Neodymium Application Neodymium Chloride mainly used for glass, crystal and capacitors. Colours glass delicate shades ranging from pure violet through wine-red and warm gray. Light transmitted through such glass shows unusually sharp absorption bands. It is useful in protective lenses for welding goggles. It is also used in CRT displays to enhance contrast between reds and greens. It is highly valued in glass manufacturing for its attractive purple coloring to glass. Specification
