Scandium chloride is a high-purity rare-earth salt compound with excellent water solubility and thermal stability. It is a key precursor for the preparation of various scandium-containing functional materials and has wide applications in catalyst synthesis, materials science, and electrochemistry.
We offer high-purity scandium chloride powders in anhydrous and various hydrated forms, supporting specific particle sizes and packaging requirements. Please inquire for a detailed product catalog and technical parameters.
High purity
Low heavy metal and alkali metal impurities
Rapid dissolution, clear and transparent solution
Strictly controlled water of crystallization content
Catalysis: As a catalyst component in reactions such as olefin polymerization and esterification, it can significantly improve reaction rates and product selectivity.
Scandium Metal Preparation: It is an important raw material for the production of high-purity scandium metal via molten salt electrolysis, used in high-end alloys for aerospace and other applications.
Optical Materials: Used in the preparation of scandium-containing specialty glasses and scintillation crystals, improving the optical transmittance and radiation detection performance of materials.
Electroplating Industry: As an electrolyte additive, it can deposit a scandium-containing alloy coating on the workpiece surface, improving its corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
Q1: How to choose between anhydrous scandium chloride and hydrated scandium chloride?
A1: Anhydrous products are suitable for strictly water-sensitive synthesis reactions or high-temperature processes; hydrated products are easier to weigh and dissolve, and are often used in solution methods. The choice should be based on the specific chemical environment requirements of the process.
Q2: Is the product prone to hygroscopicity during storage?
A2: Scandium chloride has a certain degree of hygroscopicity, especially the anhydrous product. It is recommended to store it in a dry, inert atmosphere in a sealed container. After opening, it is recommended to use it immediately or reseal it tightly.
Q3: How to confirm the impurity content of the product solution?
A3: We provide a detailed ICP-MS impurity analysis report. You can also use it to test the conductivity of the diluted solution or perform specific ion chromatography analysis to assist in the judgment.
Q4: Do you support small-batch R&D sample orders?
A4: We fully support R&D and innovation, providing small-batch samples from gram to kilogram levels, and can also provide samples of different specifications for comparative testing to help you quickly complete experimental verification.
