Areas of application

Magnetic materials

Praseodymium oxide is an essential component in Permanent magnets based on NdFeB alloys. It partially replaces neodymium oxide and thus improves the temperature stability and magnetic coercive force - especially in applications of the Automotive industry and the Power generation.

Pigments and glass colouring

Pr₆O₁₁₁ is used in the glass and ceramics industry for the production of yellow-green pigments used. It gives glass and enamel coatings intense, temperature-resistant colours and improves UV resistance. These properties are particularly important in the processing industry in demand.

Catalysis and chemical applications

In the chemical industry, praseodymium oxide is used as a Catalyst or carrier material for redox reactions. It has a high oxygen storage capacity and is used in exhaust gas purification systems and process catalyses.

Coating and additive manufacturing

In the Surface coating and the additive manufacturing Pr₆O₁₁₁ is used as a functional additive to improve oxidation protection, colouring and structural stability in technical coatings.
