Lithium borohydride Description:
Lithium borohydride is a white, crystalline powder. It is insoluble in hydrocarbons and benzene, but soluble in ether and liquid ammonia. Lithium borohydride decomposes when heated. Its aqueous solution hydrolyses readily and reacts promptly when acid is added. Lithium borohydride can be used as a raw material for hydrogen production and as a reducing agent for organic synthesis.
Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) is a global supplier of Lithium borohydride with over two decades of experience in manufacturing and supplying Lithium borohydride. Consequently, you are assured that you are purchasing Lithium borohydride from SAM.
