General description

Holmium(III) oxide is a white crystalline powder and is a rare-earth metal oxide. Holmium(III) oxide is a highly stable and resistant to chemical attack. It has a high melting point of 2,380 °C and a high density of 8.8 g/cm3. Holmium(III) oxide is used as a raw material in the production of holmium and holmium alloys, as a magneto strictive material in sensors, and a catalyst in the production of synthetic fuels among other applications.

Application

Holmium(III)oxide can be used as:
  • A starting material to prepare Ho2O3-PVAfilm for generating stable Q-switching pulses in a thulium-doped fiber laser(TDFL) cavity.
  • A catalyst for oxidative coupling of methane.
It can also be used as a dopant in the preparation of:
  • Cadmium lead borate glasses.
  • Diamond/copper composites to eliminate interfacial defects through the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
