Beryllium Oxide is a highly insoluble thermally stable Beryllium source suitable for glass, optic and ceramic applications. Oxide compounds are not conductive to electricity. They are compounds containing at least one oxygen anion and one metallic cation. They are typically insoluble in aqueous solutions (water) and extremely stable making them useful in ceramic structures as simple as producing clay bowls to advanced electronics and in light weight structural components in aerospace and electrochemical applications such as fuel cells in which they exhibit ionic conductivity. Metal oxide compounds are basic anhydrides and can therefore react with acids and with strong reducing agents in redox reactions. Beryllium Oxide is also available in pellets, pieces, powder, sputtering targets, tablets, and nanopowder (from American Elements' nanoscale production facilities). See Nanotechnology for more nanotechnology applications information. Beryllium Oxide is generally immediately available in most volumes. High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. See research below. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available.
