Yttrium(III) Nitrate Hexahydrate Description

Yttrium(III) Nitrate Hexahydrate is applied in ceramics, glass, and electronics. High purity grades are the most important materials for tri-bands Rare Earth phosphors and Yttrium-Iron-Garnets, which are very effective microwave filters. Yttrium(III) Nitrate Hexahydrate is a highly water-soluble crystalline Yttrium source for uses compatible with nitrates and lower (acidic) pH. Yttrium(III) nitrate is an inorganic compound, a salt with the formula Y(NO3)3. The hexahydrate is the most common form commercially available.
