Application

Potassium tetrafluoroborate is a versatile white, odorless crystalline powder primarily used as a flux in soldering and brazing applications. It serves as a crucial component in resin-bonded grinding wheels and acts as an abrasive material in thermosetting resin grinding wheels. This compound is integral to the production of boron alloys and plays a role in the fluxing of heat welding and brazing processes. Additionally, it is utilized in the manufacturing of boron trifluoride and as an electrolyte component in low chromic anhydride chrome and lead-tin alloys. Its applications extend to electrochemical engineering, chemical testing, and the metallurgical industry, where it is used as a reagent and in the preparation of other fluorine salts. Potassium tetrafluoroborate also improves metal particle size and serves as a refining flux in aluminum and magnesium alloy casting processes, as well as in textile printing and dyeing applications as a resin finishing agent.
