About Boron carbide, 5 µm, ≥98%

Boron carbide, 5 µm is an advanced ceramic material carrying the CAS registry number 12069-32-8 at a purity of ≥98%. Its molecular formula is CB4 and its molecular weight is 55.3 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 2,3,4,5-tetraboratetracyclo[2.1.0.01,3.02,5]pentane. Alternative names: Carbon tetraboride and Boron carbide (B4C).

The material typically appears as a black to grey powder. Keep the container tightly sealed and store it in a cool, dry area. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include advanced ceramics, wear-resistant coatings and high-temperature applications. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and metallurgy and mining.

We offer Boron carbide, 5 µm in 100 g, 500 g and 5 x 1 kg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
