At full capacity, the new facility will deliver in excess of 50 metric tons monthly. The new production capability will affect deliveries beginning immediately. Small quantities for testing and qualification are now available. This will also expand American Elements’ production of high purity erbium products, such as 99.999% erbium chloride for use in producing EDFA (erbium-doped fiber amplification) optic materials and sputtering targets, high purity pellets and granules for chemical vapor deposition and other thin film applications.
