Ytterbium Oxide Powder

Ytterbium Oxide is a white powder that is not hazardous. It is mainly used to make colorant for glasses and ceramics, make laser materials, and is also used as an additive for the electronic computer memory element (magnetic bubble ). Moreover, Ytterbium Oxide is widely used in optical fibers.

Ytterbium Oxide also called Ytterbia, is being applied to numerous fiber amplifiers and fiber optic technologies. High purity Ytterbium Oxide Powder is widely used as a doping agent for garnet crystals in lasers, an essential colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. As Ytterbium Oxide has a significantly higher emissivity in the infrared range than Magnesium Oxide, the higher radiant intensity is obtained with Ytterbium-based payloads in comparison to those commonly based on Magnesium/Teflon/Viton (MTV).

Specialized in the Rare Earth area for many years, a wide range of quality products with competitive prices are available such as RE Polishing Powder, RE Oxides, RE Metals, RE Salts, RE Catalyst, RE Hydroxides, RE Magnetic Materials, and RE Special Materials. Our products are exported to Asia, EU, America, Middle East. All products are manufactured by advanced devices and follow international standards like ISO9000, ISO14000, and RoHS which can ensure purity. Finished products are only shipped after being passed the OQC department's strict inspection.
