Sodium borohydride
¥1100.00
Product Name: Sodium Borohydride
Chemical Formula: NaBH₄
Key Features: White to off-white crystalline powder or granular, high hydrogen content, strong reducing agent, stable in alkaline conditions but decomposes in contact with water or acids, odorless.
Main Applications by Industry:
Pharmaceutical Industry: As a key reducing agent for the synthesis of antibiotics, vitamins, antiviral drugs, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Pulp & Paper Industry: For pulp bleaching (reductive bleaching) to achieve high brightness while reducing yellowing (reversion).
Water Treatment: For the removal of heavy metals (mercury, lead, silver, etc.) from industrial wastewater and groundwater through chemical reduction and precipitation.
Chemical Synthesis: As a versatile reducing agent for the selective reduction of aldehydes, ketones, acid chlorides, and other organic compounds in fine chemical production.
Electronics Industry: For the electroless plating of metals (nickel, copper, gold) onto non-conductive surfaces such as printed circuit boards (PCBs) and plastics.
Fuel Cell & Hydrogen Storage: As a chemical hydrogen storage material for portable and stationary fuel cell applications due to its high hydrogen density.
Textile Industry: For the reduction vat dyeing process to improve dye solubility and fabric colorfastness.
Rubber & Plastics Industry: As a blowing agent or intermediate in the production of certain polymers and foams.
Handling & Safety:
Reacts violently with water and acids, releasing flammable hydrogen gas. Moisture sensitive. Keep container tightly closed and store in a cool, dry area. Avoid contact with water, acids, and oxidizing agents. Use under inert atmosphere when necessary. Wear full protective equipment (gloves, goggles, face shield). In case of fire, use dry powder extinguisher; DO NOT use water.
