Praseodymium Metal is a kind of the Rare Earth Metal. It’s more resistant to corrosion in air than lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, and europium, but it will have a layer of fragile green oxide when exposed to air. Pure praseodymium must be preserved in mineral oil or sealed plastic. Get a Quote Now! For other rare earth metals, please check our Rare Earth Metal catalog page.

Typical applications:

  1. Rare earth permanent magnet is the most popular application field.
  2. Praseodymium can also be used as catalyst in petrochemical industry.
  3. It is mostly used in the form of mixed rare earth elements, such as purification modifier for metal materials, chemical catalyst, agricultural rare earth and so on.
  4. It can also be used for grinding and polishing materials.
  5. It has been widely used in the field of optical fibers. A praseodymium doped fiber amplifier (pdfA) has been developed to amplify the spectrum in the range of 1300-1360 nm
