Beryllium oxide (Cat No.:M046642) is a white, crystalline ceramic material known for its exceptional thermal conductivity, high electrical resistivity, and excellent mechanical strength. Unlike most ceramics, BeO efficiently dissipates heat while maintaining electrical insulation, making it ideal for use in high-performance electronic devices, microwave components, and heat sinks. It is chemically stable, resistant to corrosion, and exhibits a wide band gap, contributing to its utility in semiconductor applications. However, due to the toxicity of beryllium compounds, handling BeO requires strict safety protocols to avoid inhalation or exposure to fine particulate matter.
