Europium Chloride Hexahydrate Powder Description
Europium Chloride is used as a raw material of phosphors for color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions employ Europium Oxide as the red phosphor. Europium Chloride is also applied in specialty laser glass. In energy-efficient fluorescent lighting, Europium provides not only the necessary red but also the blue. Several commercial blue phosphors are based on Europium for color TV, computer screens, and fluorescent lamps. A recent (2015) application of Europium is in quantum memory chips which can reliably store information for days at a time; these could allow sensitive quantum data to be stored to a hard disk-like device and shipped around the country.

Europium Chloride Hexahydrate Powder Applications
1. Phosphors: Europium compounds, including europium chloride, are widely used in the production of phosphors.
2. Fluorescent lamps: Europium chloride is used in the manufacturing of fluorescent lamps, particularly those designed for special applications like ultraviolet lamps, medical equipment, and microscopy.
3. Nuclear industry: Europium chloride is used as a precursor material for the production of europium isotopes, such as Europium-155 and Europium-152.
4. Glass and ceramics: Europium chloride is employed in the glass and ceramics industry to create color effects in products like decorative glass, enamel, and glazes.
