Sodium fluoroborate is commonly used in the ceramic industry, for the synthesis of ionic liquids, as a plating and surface treatment agent and in chemical distribution.
Hygroscopic and moisture sensitive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
Sodium tetrafluoroborate is used in fluxes, metal finishing and in plating circuits. It is used as a starting material in the preparation of ionic liquids as well as boron trifluoride. It acts as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and thiones.
