Product Overview
This high-purity boron in crystalline form offers 99.5% metals basis purity, making it an exceptional choice for demanding laboratory applications. The material is supplied as irregular pieces with maximum dimensions of 20mm (0.8in), providing convenient handling while maintaining consistent quality. The 99.5% purity level ensures minimal impurities that could interfere with sensitive experiments or processes. Boron’s unique properties, including its high melting point and semiconductor characteristics, make this grade particularly valuable for specialized chemical synthesis and materials research. The crystalline structure provides excellent reactivity while maintaining stability under standard storage conditions. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to verify the stated purity level, with the metals basis specification indicating that trace metallic impurities are strictly controlled. The product comes in airtight packaging to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption during storage and transportation. Researchers will appreciate the consistent particle size distribution, which facilitates reproducible results in experimental procedures. The material’s high purity also makes it suitable for applications where trace contaminants could significantly impact outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the typical particle size distribution for these boron pieces?
The pieces are irregularly shaped with maximum dimensions of 20mm (0.8in) and smaller. The distribution varies naturally but remains within this specified range.
2. How should these boron pieces be stored for long-term use?
Store in a cool, dry place in the original airtight container. Keep away from moisture and incompatible materials to maintain purity.
3. Is this boron suitable for semiconductor applications?
Yes, the 99.5% purity level makes it appropriate for many semiconductor research applications, though specific requirements may vary.
4. What impurities are typically present in this grade of boron?
The metals basis specification means metallic impurities are controlled to below 0.5%. Non-metallic impurities may include trace oxygen and carbon.
5. Can these pieces be easily crushed for finer applications?
While possible, crushing may introduce contaminants. For fine powder applications, consider purchasing pre-powdered boron instead.
