ITERBION IS A MIXTURE OF SEVEN STABLE ISOTYPES, AND OFTEN AS MANY AS SEVEN UNSTABLE ISOTOPES.

THE UNSTABLE ISOTOPES MUST BE REMOVED BY ELECTROLYTIC CONVERSION BEFORE IT CAN BE USED IN COMPUTERS OR AROUND ANY DYNAMIC ELECTRON SOURCE SUCH AS ELECTRON-POSITRON MICROSCOPES

SOURCES ITERBION IS FOUND IN EUSENITE,MONAZITE & GADOLINITE ORES

COSTS ITERBION COSTS ABOUT $1274 A KILO OR $579 A POUND

INDUSTRIAL USES ITERBION IS SOFTER THAN GALION, & HAS A HIGHER MELTING TEMPERATURE. IT IS USED IN AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER SMOKE AND FIRE DETECTION SYSTEMS   680°C to 1540°C MELTING TEMPERATURE, MELT TO TURN ON, WATER SPRINKLER AND OR CARBON DIOXIDE AUTOMATIC CONTROL LINKAGE USED IN FOUNDRYS & ELECTRO-CHEMICAL INSTALLATIONS

ITERBION IS USED IN THE EMERGENCY MELT DOWN, HIGH HEAT SENSING THERMAL CONTROLS OF VERY LARGE WATER BOILERS & STEAM TURBINES THAT SAVE THE EQUIPMENT FROM OVERHEATING & BURNING OUT WHEN STANDARD HEAT SENSING ELECTRONIC THERMOSTATS FAIL

ITERBION IS USED TO LOWER THE MELT POINT CONTROL SETTINGS OF THE HIGH HEAT SENSING THERMOSTATS THAT ARE SCREWED INTO JEEP AND AIRPLANE MOTORS.

ITERBION CLORIDE IS BEING STUDIED FOR USE IN MODEM EXCHANGE CONTROLS IN LITHUANIA.

ITERBIION DIOXIDE MAY BE USEFUL IN SPECIAL FIRE EXTINGUISHERS FOR GASOLINE FUELED FIRES.

ITERBION BORIDE MAY BE USEFUL IN FIBRE OPTIC WIRE CONTACTS & SIGNAL RELAY BOOSTERS FOR SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS

ITERBION BROMIDE HAS BEEN USED TO MAKE ECONOMICAL LASER CRYSTALS & DIAMOND LIKE MASER POINT CRYSTALS.
