Indium Corp. GeO₂ Germanium Dioxide
Categories:	Ceramic; Oxide
Material Notes:	Germanium dioxide is a white powder that is manufactured in both crystalline and amorphous forms. Germanium dioxide's refractive index (1.7) and its optical dispersion properties are useful for making wide-angle lenses and optical microscope objective lenses. It is transparent to infrared light. Germanium dioxide is also used as a catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin and in the production of other germanium compounds, as well as some phosphors and semiconductor materials. Characteristics: Synonyms: Germanium (IV) Oxide, GeO2 CAS Number: 1310-53-8 EC Number: 215-180-8 RTECS: LY5240000 Purity: 99.999% Appearance/Form: White powder Crystal structure: Hexagonal Solubility: Soluble in Alkalis. Slightly Soluble in Acids. Slightly soluble in Water. Information Provided by Indium Corporation
