Glass and Ceramic
Rare earths reshape the performance boundaries of glass and ceramics
Due to their unique optical properties, electronic transition ability and chemical stability, rare earth elements have become the core additives in the manufacture of high-end glass ceramics. By precisely controlling the type and doping ratio of rare earth compounds, the high-purity materials provided by DeepcelaTM can significantly improve the light transmittance, mechanical strength, thermal stability and functionalization characteristics of glass ceramics, which are widely used in optical devices, architectural decoration, electronic packaging, high-temperature resistant equipment and other fields.
Rare Earth Compounds Enable Glass and Ceramics Innovation – Breakthrough Applications of DeepcelaTM High-Performance Rare Earth Materials
The Application of Rare Earth in Glass and Ceramic
Rare earth Oxides
- Glass decolorization and radiation protection: eliminate the green tone caused by iron impurities, absorb ultraviolet rays, and use it for medical protective glass and building curtain walls;
- Ceramic toughening: Improve the impact strength of zirconia ceramics for dental restorations and precision bearings.
- Decorative Coloring: Works synergistically with Praseodymium oxide to create a purple to blue gradient effect to create high-end art glass.
Rare earth Fluorides
- Low refractive index glass: preparation of low dispersion optical lenses for camera lenses and microscope objectives;
- Infrared transmission materials: Manufacture of high-transmittance windows in the mid-infrared band for thermal imagers.
Rare earth Phosphates
- Optical fiber amplifier: realize optical signal amplification and support the construction of 5G communication network;
- Fluorescent ceramics: used in LED packaging to improve luminous efficiency and color purity.
Rare earth sulfates and nitrates
- Radiation shielding glass: absorbs neutron and γ rays, and is used for nuclear power plant observation windows and CT equipment protective covers;
- Ceramic glaze colorants: Produce a vivid yellow to orange glaze for craft ceramics and tableware.
Rare earth hydroxides and carbonates
- Transparent ceramic precursor: sintering to prepare high transmittance YAG ceramics for lasers and LED substrates.
- Glass polishing slurry: nano-sized particles for ultra-smooth surfaces, suitable for mobile phone screens and optical lens processing.
Rare earth citrate
- Low-temperature sintering additives: reduce the temperature of ceramic sintering, reduce energy consumption and inhibit abnormal grain growth.
Technical advantages and industry value:
- Purity guarantee: 99.9%~99.999% purity, avoid glass bubbles or ceramic cracks caused by impurities;
- Particle size uniformity: micron-level particle size can be controlled, which meets the dispersion requirements of different processes;
- Customized doping: Support single or mixed rare earth formula design to accurately match customer performance needs.
Our Advantage
The Xiamen Rare Earth Science and Technology Innovation Center and the Baotou Rare Earth High-tech Zone Industrial Base have established a three-level system of “basic research (Xiamen) – engineering transformation (pilot platform) – large-scale manufacturing (Baotou)”, reducing the technology transformation cycle by 40%.
Agile development mechanism and modular product library: Based on the three major platforms of nano-rare earth oxides, high-purity compounds, and functionalized salts, over 100 derivative materials can be quickly combined, covering special crystal form control (such as cubic cerium oxide), surface functional modification, and other requirements. Value-added service extension: Provide application simulation testing (such as catalytic performance prediction), competitive product benchmarking analysis, and patent layout consultation to help customers reduce trial-and-error costs
