NdF3 Neodymium fluoride

Product Detail

Brief information Formula: NdF3 CAS No.: 13709-42-7 Molecular Weight: 201.24 Density: 6.5 g/cm3 Melting point: 1410 °C Appearance: Pale purple crystalline or powder Solubility: Insoluble in water, moderately soluble in strong mineral acids Stability: Slightly hygroscopic Multilingual: NeodymFluorid, Fluorure De Neodyme , Fluoruro Del Neodymium Application Neodymium fluoride is mainly used for glass, crystal and capacitors, and is the main raw material for making Neodymium Metal and alloys. Neodymium has a strong absorption band centered at 580 nm, which is very close to the human eye's maximum level of sensitivity making it 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
