CE1530 Cerium Chloride Hydrate Powder (CAS No. 19423-76-8)

Cerium Chloride Hydrate Description

Cerium chloride, in the form of crystalline aggregates or light yellow lump aggregates, is an essential material used in catalysts, glass production, phosphors, and polishing powders. It has the ability to decolorize glass by maintaining iron in its ferrous state. Cerium-doped glass is utilized in manufacturing medical glassware and aerospace windows to block out ultraviolet light. It is also used to prevent polymers from darkening in sunlight and to minimize the discoloration of television glass. Additionally, it is applied to optical components to enhance performance.
