Lithium Tetraborate
Lithium Tetraborate (CAS 12007-60-2) is a specialized vitreous fluxing agent supplied by Zyntex, engineered for spectroscopic sample preparation, analytical chemistry, and high-tech glass manufacturing.
Description
Comprehensive Product Overview
In the field of high-precision analytical chemistry, the quality of the fusion flux defines the accuracy of the spectroscopic results. Zyntex Lithium Tetraborate is selected for its exceptional ability to dissolve a wide range of mineral oxides into a homogeneous glass bead. Therefore, we ensure a strictly controlled purity profile with near-zero trace element interference. Consequently, this versatile borate delivers reliable performance across vacuum and air-fusion environments, ensuring optimal clarity in X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis.
Zyntex supplies Lithium Tetraborate in a standardized anhydrous form, optimized for safe integration into automated fusion machines and high-temperature laboratory furnaces. Our stringent quality control measures ensure a clear, colorless melt with minimal volatility. Furthermore, this product features excellent compatibility with lithium metaborate blends. Since it is a vital component for analyzing iron ores, cements, and geological samples, you can incorporate it into your laboratory workflow with total technical assurance.
From specialized metallographic research to large-scale cement quality control, this versatile lithium salt is a cornerstone of modern material characterization. Its consistent chemical profile ensures it provides a predictable melting point and does not stick to platinum crucibles. As a result, Zyntex provides a dependable foundation for innovation in the “analytical-testing” and specialty glass markets. Finally, our commitment to technical purity and SDS documentation helps your laboratory achieve international ISO and GLP standards effortlessly.
