4. Physical & Chemical Properties

Boron Trichloride is a highly reactive Lewis acid with strict handling and storage requirements:

Solubility: Decomposes violently in water, forming hydrochloric acid (HCl) and boric acid (H₃BO₃), releasing a large amount of heat. Soluble in carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide, and other organic solvents.

Stability: Stable under dry, sealed conditions; reacts violently with water, alcohols, strong bases, and oxidizing agents. Corrodes most metals in the presence of moisture.

Reactivity: Acts as a strong Lewis acid, forming stable adducts with Lewis bases (e.g., ethers, amines). Widely used as a catalyst in Friedel-Crafts reactions and other organic synthesis processes.

Safety Notes: Highly toxic and corrosive; forms irritating fumes in moist air. Requires explosion-proof, corrosion-resistant storage and handling equipment, with strict personal protective equipment (PPE) for all operations.

 

5. Packaging & Shipping

We provide GB/DOT-compliant packaging solutions for global markets, supporting small-batch trial orders and large-volume bulk supply:

Standard Cylinders: 47L/440L steel cylinders with corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel CGA330 valves, ensuring airtightness and preventing moisture ingress.

Bulk Supply: ISO tanks for large-scale industrial applications, complying with international dangerous goods transportation standards.

Compliance: All packages meet UN 1809 regulations; complete SDS safety data sheets, batch purity certificates, and export qualification documents are provided for smooth customs clearance.

 

6. Main Applications

Boron Trichloride is a versatile specialty gas widely used in modern industrial and high-tech industries:
