About REE

The following abbreviations are often used:
•       RE = rare earth
•       REM = rare earth metals
•       REE = rare earth elements
•       REO = rare earth oxides
•       REY = rare earth elements and yttrium
•       LREE = light rare earth elements (Sc, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, and Gd; also known as the cerium group)
•       HREE = heavy rare earth elements (Y, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu; also known as the yttrium group)
Edgetech Industries LLC presents you with high purity REE products and good service, the main products are Scandium, and HREE (yttrium group).
