Usage

General Description

Calcium tetrafluoroborate is a chemical compound with the formula Ca(BF4)2. It is an inorganic salt that is commonly used as an additive in the plating industry as well as a component in the production of metal fluorides. Calcium tetrafluoroborate is a white, odorless, and water-soluble powder that is stable at room temperature and pressure. It is also utilized as a flux in the aluminum and magnesium smelting industries, as well as in the production of soldering and welding fluxes. Additionally, it is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions. However, it is important to handle calcium tetrafluoroborate with care, as it is toxic if ingested and can cause irritation upon contact with the skin or eyes.
