Description :

Apearances: White crystals, with moisture absorption solution, the case of moist air released by the decomposition of hydrogen, moisture absorption and decomposition in moist air, in the stable in dry air at 300 ℃. Slowly heated to 400 ℃ decomposition, emergency heat 500 ° C begins to decompose. Soluble in water, liquid ammonia, amines, slightly soluble in tetrahydrofuran, and insoluble in ether, benzene, hydrocarbons.

USES :

Is a good reducing agent for aldehydes and reducing agents, rubber, plastic blowing agents, organic compounds, aldehydes and scavenger, widely used in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. It is Apearanceized by stable performance, selective restore. Intermediates, synthetic raw material of the borane reducing agent, a foaming agent of the plastic can be used as the class of aldehydes, ketones, and acid chlorides, manufacturing dihydrostreptomycin hydrogenation agent, manufacturing potassium borohydride, as well as for the paper industry and mercury-containing wastewater treatment agent.
