Description

Boron Trifluoride10B is a specialized isotopically enriched form of boron trifluoride, where the boron atom is the 10B isotope. This compound is a critical reagent in advanced materials science and nuclear technology due to its unique neutron absorption properties. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the semiconductor, nuclear energy, and pharmaceutical synthesis industries who require precise isotopic control for doping, neutron detection, or as a catalyst in demanding fluorination reactions.

Application

• Neutron Detection and Shielding: Used in gas-filled proportional counters and as a doping agent in solid-state neutron detectors due to the high neutron capture cross-section of the 10B isotope.
• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Employed in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and ion implantation processes for precise doping of silicon and other semiconductor materials.
• Nuclear Industry: Serves as a source of 10B for control rods, shielding materials, and in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) research.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a powerful Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly for alkylation, polymerization, and isomerization reactions where isotopic labeling is required.
• Analytical Standards: Used to prepare calibration standards for mass spectrometry and other isotopic analysis techniques.
• Advanced Material Research: A precursor for synthesizing isotopically enriched boron nitride, boron carbide, and other high-performance ceramics.

Quality Control

Our Boron Trifluoride10B is produced and handled under stringent conditions to ensure isotopic and chemical purity. Each batch is analyzed using advanced techniques including mass spectrometry for isotopic enrichment verification and gas chromatography for chemical purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic ratio (10B/11B), chemical assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, specially passivated steel cylinder, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and organic compounds. Due to its gaseous, highly volatile, and strong acid/organic solvent nature, cylinders must be secured upright and handled using appropriate gas-handling equipment. Keep container valve tightly sealed when not in use.
