Lithium tetraborate powder is a white in appearance, inorganic compound powder used as flux, additive or sample decomposition reagent in glass manufacturing, ceramic production, metallurgical industry and analytical chemistry.
VIMATERIAL’s lithium Tetraborate powder has the advantages of high purity, stable performance, support for customisation of small-lot orders, sufficient inventory stock and short lead time. At the same time, we also provide customised product services for our customers, whether it is special purity requirements, particle size distribution control, or innovative application exploration experiments, we welcome you to communicate and cooperate with us. Please contact us if you have any related needs.
Molecular Formula: Li₂B₄O₇
Molecular weight: 169.12
Appearance: white powder with fine and uniform texture
Density: about 2.46g/cm3
Melting point: about 917°C
Crystal structure: Common crystal structure is monoclinic crystal system.
Glass manufacturing industry: It is an important flux and additive in glass production, Li₂B₄O₇ powder can reduce the melting temperature of glass, promote the uniform fusion of glass raw materials, reduce the bubbles and impurities in glass, and improve the transparency and mechanical strength of glass.
Ceramic field: adding Li₂B₄O₇ powder to ceramic blanks and glazes can reduce the firing temperature of ceramics, shorten the firing time and improve the production efficiency, as well as improve the surface gloss, hardness and wear resistance of ceramics.
Metallurgical industry: Used as flux in the metallurgical process, it can lower the melting point and viscosity of slag, promote the separation of metal and slag, and improve the recovery rate and purity of metal. At the same time, it can also form a protective film on the surface of the metal, reducing the oxidative loss of the metal in the high-temperature melting process.
In the field of analytical chemistry: Because Li₂B₄O₇ powder has good solubility for many metal oxides, it is often used in the preparation of fluxes for the decomposition of samples of ores, rocks, etc. for elemental analysis. It is a commonly used sample pre-treatment reagent in modern analytical techniques such as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP – MS).
Our products follow a strict and comprehensive quality management system. In the inspection of finished products, we use advanced testing equipment, such as X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), laser particle size analyser, etc., to carry out a comprehensive and detailed testing of key indicators such as purity, crystal structure, particle size distribution, specific surface area, and so on. According to the special requirements of customers, we provide product sampling samples to facilitate customers to carry out independent testing and quality assessment.
Lithium Tetraborate Powder is packaged in a professional packaging solution that protects against moisture and oxidation. External protection is provided by cardboard boxes or paper drums.
Lithium Tetraborate powder should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight. At the same time, it should be kept away from corrosive substances such as acid and alkali as well as strong oxidants to prevent chemical reactions.
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. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
