Why is ChemPUR the Right Partner for Purchasing Thulium?
We combine many years of experience in fine chemicals with a clear focus on high-purity materials. Especially with Thulium – a rare and demanding rare earth metal – quality, availability, and consultation are crucial. We supply purities from 3N to 6N, ensuring that your results remain reproducible, for example, in materials research or optical applications. At the same time, you benefit from our broad product range: from metal to oxides and complex compounds. Another advantage is our worldwide dealer network, which enables us to reliably source even hard-to-find materials. This is complemented by personal consultation: We actively support you in selecting the appropriate compound and form. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, we also stand for audited processes and consistent quality.
In Which Forms is Thulium Available?
Thulium is available from us in a variety of forms – tailored to different applications in research and industry. For fundamental applications, we offer metallic Thulium as powder, chips, or pieces. These forms are suitable, for example, for alloy development or physical investigations.
Furthermore, we also supply Thulium as chemical compounds, mostly in powder form, such as oxide, fluoride, or chloride. For specialized processes, variants such as nanopowders or materials for evaporation and sputtering processes are also available. Depending on the application, further processed forms such as granules, wires, or targets can also be provided. This allows us to cover both simple laboratory applications and complex industrial processes. The selection of the correct form heavily depends on your application – we will provide targeted support here.
Which Purity Levels Do We Offer for Thulium?
We offer Thulium in a wide range of purity levels – from 99.9% (3N) up to 99.9999% (6N). This range allows you to choose exactly the purity level required for your application. For standard applications in research or education, 3N or 4N qualities are often sufficient, for example, for simple syntheses or material tests.
For more demanding applications, such as in optoelectronics or precise analytical procedures, 5N or 6N materials are used. An example from our portfolio is Thulium oxide, which we offer in several purity levels, including the low-gas, ampouled 6N variant. This allows you to precisely match your material quality to your requirements – without compromising performance.
Do You Also Supply High-Purity Thulium?
Yes, we specialize in high-purity to ultra-high-purity materials and supply Thulium up to the ultra-high-purity range. This includes purities of 5N (99.999%) and 6N (99.9999%), which are particularly required for sensitive applications.
Such qualities are used, for example, in laser technology, optical materials, or semiconductor research. Even the smallest impurities can affect material properties here – which is why the highest purity is crucial. A concrete example is our Thulium oxide in 6N quality, which is supplied ampouled and with low gas content. This special preparation ensures maximum stability and purity during storage and processing. With this, we offer you solutions that meet even the highest scientific and technical requirements.
Which Thulium Compounds Do We Carry?
Our portfolio includes a wide selection of Thulium compounds for various applications. These include, in particular, oxides, halides, and oxygen-containing compounds. Key products include:
- Thulium oxide (Tm₂O₃),
- Thulium fluoride (TmF₃),
- Thulium chloride (anhydrous and hydrate)
- as well as Thulium(III) iodide.
This offering is supplemented by compounds such as Thulium nitrate, Thulium sulfate, Thulium phosphate, or Thulium carbonate. For specialized applications, we also offer organic compounds such as Thulium acetate, as well as other materials like Thulium sulfide. This diversity allows you to select precisely the right compound for your application – be it for syntheses, catalysis, or material development.
Do You Assist with Material Selection?
Selecting the right Thulium material is often crucial for project success – and can be complex due to the multitude of compounds, purities, and forms. This is precisely where our consultation comes in.
We support you in selecting the appropriate compound, for example, whether an oxide, fluoride, or chloride is suitable for your application. We also help in determining the optimal purity level and the appropriate delivery form. For optical applications, a high-purity oxide may be required, while for syntheses, a chloride is more suitable. Through our experience, we can quickly provide you with a well-founded recommendation, thus saving time and resources.
Can You Deliver Thulium Worldwide?
Yes, through our international dealer network, we are able to provide Thulium materials worldwide. This applies to both standard products and specialized or hard-to-find materials.
Our network enables us to react flexibly to availabilities and find solutions even for complex delivery requirements. Especially with rare earth metals like Thulium, whose procurement often depends on global supply chains, this is a decisive advantage. For you, this means: a predictable supply, even for long-term projects or special specifications. We ensure that your materials arrive reliably and on time – regardless of location.
