Which yttrium oxides does ChemPUR offer?
Is yttrium delivered worldwide?
Yes, yttrium products can be delivered internationally depending on the item, quantity, and destination country. ChemPUR supplies customers in research, development, and industry outside of Germany as well. For international orders, the applicable transport, export, and import regulations are taken into account. This applies to both metallic yttrium and yttrium compounds such as oxides, halides, nitrates, or carbonates. Whether a specific product can be delivered to your destination country depends on availability, product form, and local regulations. Our team will review your inquiry individually and clarify delivery terms, documentation, and shipping options for you.
What distinguishes yttrium from other elements?
Yttrium occupies a special position between transition metals and rare earth metals. Although it does not chemically belong to the lanthanides, it is often considered together with rare earth elements due to its occurrence and similar properties. For users, this is particularly important when evaluating purity specifications, as many yttrium products are specified on an REO basis.
Another difference lies in the combination of metallic forms and a wide selection of compounds. ChemPUR offers yttrium not only as powder, chips, granules, pieces, foil, wire, rod, and sputtering targets, but also as oxide, halide, carbonate, nitrate, oxalate, sulfate, phosphate, and other specialty compounds. This allows yttrium to be used as a metal form, salt, oxide, or functional compound depending on the process. For your material selection, this means: yttrium is particularly flexible when a rare earth metal with a clearly defined chemical form, high functionality, and various delivery forms is required.
What makes ChemPUR the perfect partner for buying yttrium?
ChemPUR offers yttrium in many relevant forms and compounds for research, development, and industry. The range includes, among others, powder, chips, granules, pieces, foils, wire, rods, and sputtering targets, as well as yttrium compounds such as oxides, fluorides, chlorides, nitrates, carbonates, and specialty compounds. For you, this means: you can specifically select the form, REO grade, and compound class according to your application. The wide product selection is particularly helpful if you need yttrium for materials research, ceramics development, thin-film technology, synthesis, or superconductor research. If you have questions regarding availability, container size, or the appropriate grade, our specialist team will assist you in selecting the suitable yttrium product.
In what purities is yttrium available?
At ChemPUR, yttrium is primarily available as a metal in 99.5+% (REO) and 99.9% (REO). Yttrium powder is offered at 99.9% (REO), and yttrium chips at 99.5+% (REO). Granules, pieces, foils, wires, rods, and sputtering targets are each available at 99.9% (REO).
For yttrium compounds, the spectrum extends significantly further depending on the product. Yttrium oxide, for example, is available in grades from 99.9% to 99.9999% (REO). Yttrium acetate, chloride, nitrate, oxalate, fluoride, and other compounds are also offered in various REO grades. REO means that the purity specification refers to the rare earth oxide basis. The suitable grade depends on your application and the required product form.
Which yttrium compounds are available at ChemPUR?
At ChemPUR, you can obtain yttrium compounds for various requirements in research, development, and technical applications. The range includes, among others, yttrium acetates, yttrium carbonates, yttrium halides, yttrium hydroxides, yttrium nitrates, yttrium oxalates, yttrium oxides, yttrium phosphates, and yttrium sulfates.
Yttrium oxide is particularly relevant for materials science applications. It is available in several grades – including as a nanopowder – and is suitable for projects where particle size, surface area, or ceramic properties play an important role. For wet-chemical syntheses or precursor applications, however, soluble salts such as acetates, nitrates, chlorides, or oxalates may be useful.
Specialty compounds such as yttrium aluminum oxide, yttrium barium copper oxide YBCO123, or yttrium-thd are also available. Thus, ChemPUR covers both classic laboratory requirements and specific questions from ceramics, thin-film, superconductor, and materials research. The suitable compound depends on the chemical form, REO purity, solubility, and planned further processing. Our specialist team will be happy to assist you in selecting the appropriate yttrium compound.
For which applications is yttrium used?
Yttrium is particularly interesting when materials need to become more stable, temperature-resistant, or functional. In ceramics and materials research, yttrium oxide is primarily used, for example, to stabilize ceramic systems and for applications with high thermal stress. For optical and functional materials, yttrium compounds such as yttrium aluminum oxide are relevant, for instance in laser, luminescent, or phosphor research. In thin-film technology, yttrium sputtering targets as well as yttrium fluoride pieces can be used for evaporation processes. Yttrium is also important for specialty applications: ChemPUR offers, among others, YBCO123 as a high-temperature superconductor powder. The suitable yttrium grade depends on the form, REO purity, and desired application.
