Description

Lithium borate (CAS: 12007-60-2), with the molecular formula B₄Li₂O₇, is a high-purity inorganic compound widely used in research and industrial applications. This white crystalline powder, also known as lithium tetraborate, is valued for its exceptional thermal stability and chemical inertness, making it ideal for analytical chemistry, glass manufacturing, and metallurgical processes. Its low melting point and ability to form stable fluxes are particularly beneficial in X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy for sample preparation. Packaged in moisture-resistant containers to ensure long-term stability, our 99% pure lithium borate meets stringent quality standards for laboratory and industrial use. Suitable for applications requiring precise borate-based reagents, it is a critical component in borosilicate glass production, ceramic glazes, and flame retardant formulations.
