Lithium Fluoroborate

LiBF₄ is significantly more thermally and hydrolytically stable than LiPF₆ — it tolerates higher operating temperatures (up to 80 °C) with less HF generation. Its disadvantages are lower ionic conductivity in carbonate solvents and higher SEI resistance. Many high-temperature ESS and HEV designs use LiBF₄ as a co-salt with LiPF₆ to balance these trade-offs.

Battery-grade LiBF₄ assays at 99.9% (3N) min, with free HF < 100 ppm, water < 50 ppm by Karl Fischer, sulphate < 50 ppm, and metallic impurities (Fe, Cr, Ni, Cu, Pb) < 1 ppm each by ICP-MS. Each lot ships with full COA.

UN 3260, Class 8 (corrosive solid), Packing Group II. Shipped in moisture-tight HDPE drums under argon, with desiccant and tamper-evident seals.

Lithium Fluoroborate is supplied in HDPE woven bags with inner LDPE liner (25 kg / 50 kg net), HDPE drums (25 / 50 / 250 kg), and FIBC jumbo bags (500 / 1000 kg) for solid grades. Liquid grades ship in HDPE-lined steel drums (250 kg) or 1000 L IBC totes. Custom packaging — including nitrogen-blanketed, moisture-tight, or food-grade containers — is available on request.

Standard MOQ is 1 metric tonne for solid grades and 200 kg for liquid grades; pilot quantities of 5–25 kg are available for R&D qualification. Stock items dispatch within 7–10 working days from confirmed PO. Made-to-order grades and large export consignments require 3–4 weeks. Indian deliveries by road typically reach 4–7 days; export FCL shipments depend on destination port.

Yes. A 16-section GHS-format SDS is dispatched with every shipment and is also available in advance from marketing@sbfluorochem.com. A batch-specific COA accompanies every consignment and is emailed before dispatch for goods-receipt verification. Test methods follow IS / ASTM / USP / IP / EP as applicable.

SB Chemicals exports to over 35 countries across South-East Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. We hold IEC, GST, and APEDA registrations. Shipments move CIF / FOB / CFR / FCA / EXW from Mundra, Nhava Sheva (JNPT), or Hazira ports. Letter of Credit (LC), TT, and DA terms are accepted subject to credit approval.

Yes. SB Chemicals operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System at the GIDC Vapi facility. Every batch undergoes raw-material testing, in-process control, and final QC release before despatch. Clients are welcome to schedule a third-party audit of the plant.
