Cerium Oxide 99,9%
- CAS Number: 1306-38-3
- (CeO₂)
Description
Uses and Applications
Cerium oxide is a functional material widely used in industrial applications requiring high-precision polishing performance, supported by its high degree of purity. It is also used as a catalyst in the automotive and petrochemical industries and is valued in organic synthesis reactions where oxidation processes are required. In ceramic applications, including glazes, pigments and technical ceramics, it acts as a colour modifier or stabiliser.
Packaging and Logistics
The product is supplied in 25 kg bags and big bags, supported by agile logistics to facilitate its integration into production processes already validated by our customers.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About the Cerium Oxide 99,9%
Why is cerium oxide the standard abrasive for polishing glass?
Why is cerium oxide the standard abrasive for polishing glass?
Because its action is not purely mechanical. In addition to the abrasive effect, cerium oxide interacts chemically with the glass surface, and that combination produces an optical finish that other abrasives of similar hardness cannot achieve. This is the reason for its use in lenses, flat glass and optical components.
What other industrial applications does it have?
What other industrial applications does it have?
It is used in glass formulations, where it acts on colour and on stability against radiation, and in applications that exploit its ability to exchange oxygen between the oxidation states of cerium, a property used in catalysis and in functional coatings.
Is it the same as cerium(III) oxide?
Is it the same as cerium(III) oxide?
No. The industrial polishing product is cerium dioxide, CeO₂, also called cerium(IV) oxide or ceria, and it is the one corresponding to the CAS number declared on this page. Cerium(III) oxide, Ce₂O₃, is a different compound with its own CAS number. It is worth checking the CAS when comparing offers, since the name «cerium oxide» is used for both.
