Product Description
When precision matters in your lab experiments or industrial applications, crystalline boron pieces with 99.5% purity deliver unmatched performance. These high-grade boron chunks, sized at 20mm and below, are meticulously processed to ensure consistency and reliability in critical processes like semiconductor manufacturing, neutron absorption, and advanced material synthesis.
Unlike amorphous boron, the crystalline form offers superior thermal and electrical properties, making it a preferred choice for researchers and engineers. Whether you’re working on doping silicon wafers or developing high-strength alloys, this lab-grade boron metal provides the purity and structural integrity your project demands.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of sourcing materials that meet stringent quality standards. That’s why we partner with trusted suppliers like Thermofisher to bring you boron pieces that adhere to global benchmarks. Each batch is tested for impurities, ensuring you receive a product that performs as expected, every time.
Why High-Purity Boron Matters
Boron’s unique properties—its lightweight nature, high melting point, and exceptional hardness—make it indispensable in modern science. However, the effectiveness of these properties hinges on purity. Even trace contaminants can alter results in sensitive applications. With 99.5% purity (metals basis), these boron pieces minimize variables, giving you confidence in your data.
For students and educators, this material serves as an excellent teaching tool for demonstrating boron’s role in metallurgy and electronics. Researchers will appreciate its consistency in experiments requiring precise elemental control.
Applications in Real-World Settings
From academic labs to industrial R&D centers, crystalline boron finds use in:
- Semiconductor industry: As a doping agent to modify electrical properties of silicon.
- Nuclear applications: Neutron absorption in control rods and shielding materials.
- Chemical synthesis: Catalyst in organic reactions and boron-containing compound production.
- Material science: Reinforcing composites and developing high-performance ceramics.

Handling and Storage Guidelines
While boron is relatively stable under normal conditions, proper handling ensures longevity and safety. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances like strong oxidizing agents. Use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles) when handling to avoid skin or eye irritation.
Risk Note
Warning: Boron dust may cause respiratory irritation. Avoid inhalation and ensure adequate ventilation during use. Not for internal consumption.
