Description

Lithium Metaborate (CAS 13453-69-5) is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula BLiO₂ and IUPAC name lithium;oxido(oxo)borane. This high-purity reagent is widely utilized in analytical chemistry, particularly in X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) sample preparation due to its excellent fluxing properties. It forms low-melting, stable glasses when fused with oxides, enabling precise elemental analysis of geological, ceramic, and metallurgical samples. Available in anhydrous and dihydrate forms, our Lithium Metaborate is synthesized under stringent quality controls to ensure minimal trace metal contamination (<1 ppm). Its hygroscopic nature necessitates storage in a desiccator. Suitable for research, industrial, and laboratory applications, this product meets ACS and ISO standards.
