Fluoroborates

Cadmium Fluoroborate, 50%, CAS 14486-19-2, (also known as cadmium tetrafluoroborate or cadmium fluoborate) has the formula CdBF₄.  Cadmium Fluoroborate is most widely used in cadmium plating operations, most typically where high strength steels are being cadmium plated for corrosion resistance.

Fluoroboric Acid, 40%, CAS 16872-11-0, (also known as hexafluoroboric acid or fluoboric acid) has the formula HBF₄. It is a corrosive chemical, like all salts of fluorosilicic acid. Fluoroboric acid finds use as a cleaner and surface preparation prior to electroplating, a stripping solution for solder/flux, pH modifier for electroplating baths, as a catalyst for alkylations and polymerizations, and for the stabilization of diazo salts.

Lead Fluoroborate, 51.5%, CAS 13814-96-5, (also known as lead tetrafluoroborate or lead fluoborate) has the formula Pb(BF₄)₂.  Copper Fluoroborate is most widely used as an electrolyte used with Tin Fluoroborate for Lead-Tin plating in PCB/Thin wall bearing and plating operations for fire extinguishers and battery connectors.

Potassium Fluorotitanate, CAS 16919-27-0, (also known as potassium tetrafluorotitanate or potassium fluorotitanate) has the formula K₂TiF₆.  Potassium Fluorotitanate is most used as an additive in aluminum metalurgy to produce alloys containing titanium in the non-ferrous metals industry and to obtain pure titanium by electroysis.

Sodium Fluoroborate, CAS 13755-29-8, (also known as sodium hexafluoroborate or sodium fluoborate) has the formula NaBF₄.  Sodium Fluoroborate is used as an additive in non-ferrous foundry flux, in lubrication emulsions for rolling and forming of aluminum, as a grain refining agent for non-ferrous metals, for introduction of boron in to aluminum alloys, and for the removal of magnesium in the refining of scrap aluminum.
