Cerium (Ce) Micron Powder (99.5%, -325 mesh)

Description

Cerium (Ce) Micron Powder (99.5%, -325 mesh)

Cerium (Ce) Micron Powder with 99.5% purity and -325 mesh size is a high-quality rare earth material widely used in glass polishing, catalysis, fuel cells, and steel manufacturing. As the most abundant rare earth element, cerium combines strong oxidizing properties, high reactivity, and excellent refining capability, making it indispensable across multiple industries.

Cerium powder is ductile, reactive, and quickly oxidizes at room temperature, which enhances its role as both a polishing medium and a refining agent. It also has emerging applications in energy storage and emission control technologies.

⚠️ Safety Note: Cerium powder is highly flammable and harmful. Handle only in controlled environments with appropriate safety measures.
