Application

 

Yttrium Acetate is widely applied in electronic ceramics, glass, and electronics. Yttrium compounds are used as a catalyst for ethylene polymerization. Yttrium is used in the production of a large variety of synthetic garnets, and Yttria is used to make Yttrium Iron Garnets, which are very effective microwave filters.
