Potassium Tetrafluoroborate

Potassium tetrafluoroborate is a white, crystalline, odorless solid at room temperature, non-volatile and stable under ambient conditions, with a melting point of approximately 530 °C (decomposes without boiling). It is an inorganic ionic compound and a common source of the weakly coordinating tetrafluoroborate anion. Primarily used as a reagent and catalyst support in organic and organometallic synthesis, it serves as a potassium source and counterion in reactions involving cationic metal complexes. Its principal applications are in the production of specialty catalysts, electroplating baths, and as an additive in lithium-ion battery electrolytes. It is also employed in the synthesis of fine chemicals for pharmaceuticals and electronic materials.

Has been proposed as a flux for soldering and brazing; filler in resin-bonded grinding wheels.
It appears as white powder or gelatinous crystals. It has hygroscopicity with bitter taste. It is slightly soluble in water and hot ethanol, insoluble in cold ethanol.

This chemical is included in Fine Chemicals. See more about what is Potassium Tetrafluoroborate and Potassium Tetrafluoroborate SDS information.
