Product Name – DI-BORON TRIOXIDE ANHYDROUS 99% AR Quantity/Pack Size – 250 g, 1000 g Form – Powder Grade – AR (Analytical Reagent) Application – Laboratory reagent, buffer preparation, synthesis
Product Overview
DI-Boron Trioxide Anhydrous 99% AR is a high-purity, white crystalline powder widely used in laboratory settings for its consistent performance and reliability. This analytical reagent (AR) grade compound ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for critical applications where precision is paramount. It exhibits excellent solubility in water, forming boric acid solutions, and serves as a key component in buffer preparations, synthesis reactions, and as a flux in metallurgical processes. The anhydrous form guarantees stability and longevity, preventing moisture absorption that could compromise experimental integrity. Its neutral pH and non-toxic nature further enhance its versatility across diverse lab protocols. Whether used as a standalone reagent or in combination with other chemicals, this product delivers reproducible results, meeting the stringent demands of research and testing environments. The fine particle size ensures rapid dissolution, while the AR certification guarantees adherence to strict quality standards, providing researchers and technicians with confidence in their experimental outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of DI-Boron Trioxide Anhydrous 99% AR?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging, the product retains its stability for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture. Exposure to humidity should be avoided to prevent caking or degradation.
2. Is this product compatible with glassware and standard lab equipment?
Yes, DI-Boron Trioxide Anhydrous is chemically inert to borosilicate glass and most common lab materials, including stainless steel and PTFE. However, prolonged contact with aluminum or other reactive metals should be avoided.
3. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for general applications?
For non-critical applications, technical-grade boron trioxide (95-98% purity) may be used, though it may contain trace impurities that could affect sensitive experiments. AR grade is recommended for analytical work.
4. How should I handle spills or accidental exposure?
In case of spills, contain the material and sweep it into a sealed container for disposal. Avoid inhaling dust; use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. For skin or eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
5. Can this product be used in food or pharmaceutical testing?
While DI-Boron Trioxide Anhydrous 99% AR is highly pure, it is not certified for direct use in food, pharmaceutical, or clinical applications. For such uses, USP/EP-grade or food-grade equivalents should be sourced.
