Calcium Hexaboride (CaB6) Powder, CAS 12007-99-7

Calcium hexaboride (CaB6) is a black-gray powder or granules. The melting point is 2230℃, the relative density is 2.33g/cm, and it is insoluble in water at 15℃ and normal temperature. HM provides high-quality Calcium Hexaboride (CaB6) powder at a competitive price, which can be used in scientific research or industrial production.

• Hardness: 9
• Relative density: 2.33
• Melting point: 2200°C

Calcium hexaboride is stable at high temperatures in the air, insoluble in hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and dilute sulfuric acid, and does not react with water. It can be corroded by strong oxidants such as chlorine, fluorine, nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc., and reacts very slowly with alkali.

• Used as a deoxidizer for metal smelting.

Calcium Hexaboride (CaB6) Powder Storage Conditions and Packing

Calcium Hexaboride (CaB6) Powder should be sealed and stored in a dry and cool environment. It should not be exposed to the air for a long time to prevent agglomeration due to moisture, which will affect the dispersion performance and use effect. In addition, avoid heavy pressure and do not contact with oxidants. Transport as ordinary goods. We offer vacuum-sealed packaging including 100g/bag, 500g/bag, 1kg/bag, and 25kg/drum, or we can offer customized packaging as per specific requirements.
