Boron Granules are solid, granular forms of elemental boron, produced by converting boron powder into larger, more manageable granules. These granules are typically used in a variety of industrial applications where precise handling and controlled release of boron are required. They are less reactive than the powdered form, making them easier and safer to handle in many processes.
Appearance：black-brown
Melting point：2349 K (2076 °C, 3769 °F)
Boiling point：4200 K (3927 °C, 7101 °F)
Density when liquid (at m.p.)：2.08 g/cm3
Purity: Available in varying purities, typically ranging from 95% to 99%, depending on the application.
Size: Granule sizes can range from a few millimeters to larger particles, depending on the specific application needs.
Structure: Granules are often spherical or irregularly shaped, which provides ease of handling, blending, and controlled distribution in certain processes.
Hardness: Similar to boron powder, boron granules are hard and brittle.
Thermal Stability: Very high thermal stability, making them ideal for use in high-temperature applications.
Metallurgy: Boron granules are used as an alloying agent in steel and other metal alloys to enhance hardness, strength, and resistance to wear and corrosion.
Agriculture: Boron is an essential micronutrient for plants, and boron granules are used as a fertilizer to correct boron deficiencies in soil, promoting healthy plant growth.
Nuclear Industry: Due to its neutron absorption capabilities, boron granules are employed in nuclear reactors as a neutron absorber or control material.
Pyrotechnics and Rocketry: Used in explosives and rocket propellants for their high-energy release during combustion.
Energy Storage: Boron granules are sometimes used in advanced battery technologies, where their properties help improve the overall performance of the system.
Handling: While boron granules are less hazardous than the powder form, they should still be handled with care. Protective equipment, such as gloves and respiratory protection, is recommended, especially when handling large quantities.
Storage: Store boron granules in a dry, airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and potential reactions. Ensure that they are kept away from oxidizing agents and open flames.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo.
