Praseodymium Powder

Product Overview
Praseodymium powder is an important rare-earth metal powder, belonging to the lanthanide series. It is highly corrosion-resistant and widely used in alloy materials, catalysts, and electronic devices. Praseodymium exhibits stable chemical properties, forming a green, brittle oxide layer in air, typically in the +3 oxidation state. The powder is commonly produced through calcium reduction or electrolysis from its chloride or fluoride compounds. Its high purity makes it suitable for use in high-tech and high-performance material applications.
