Lanthanum is one of the rare earth elements used to make carbon arc lights which are used in the motion picture industry for studio lighting and projector lights. Lanthanum also makes up about 25% of Misch metal, a material that is used to make flints for lighters. Lantana (La2O3) is used to make the glass used in camera lenses and in other special glasses.
Lanthanum Metal Pellet / Powder / Target Description
Lanthanum Metal is a very important raw material in producing Hydrogen Storage Alloys for NiMH batteries and is also 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.
