Lanthanum (La) Metal Applications

  • Lanthanum Metal is used as an important raw material in producing Hydrogen Storage Alloys for NiMH batteries and
  • Lanthanum Metal is used to produce other pure Rare Earth metals and specialty alloys.
  • Small amounts of Lanthanum added to Steel improve its malleability, resistance to impact, and ductility.
  • Small amounts of Lanthanum are present in many pool products to remove the Phosphates that feed algae.
  • Lanthanum Metal can be further processed into various shapes of ingots, pieces, wires, foils, slabs, rods, discs, and powder.

Lanthanum (La) Metal Storage and Packing

Lanthanum (La) Metal should be kept sealed and stored in a dry place, avoiding moisture and being exposed to air for a long time. The small-sized products are packaged in cartons and large-sized products are packaged in wooden boxes. The package is 100g/bag, 500g/bag, 25kg/box, or as required.
