About Lithium tetraborate, GR 98%

Lithium tetraborate (CAS 12007-60-2) is an alkali metal compound offered by Vaqora Chemicals in AR grade at a purity of 98%. The compound has the formula B4Li2O7, corresponding to a molecular weight of 169.2 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is dilithium, 3,7-dioxido-2,4,6,8,9-pentaoxa-1,3,5,7-tetraborabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane. Common synonyms include Boric acid (H2B407), dilithium salt and Boron lithium oxide (B4Li2O7).

The material typically appears as a white powder. Reported physical data include a melting point of 760-880 °C. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include fluorescent labelling and materials research. It is used across academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 100 g, 1 kg, 5 kg and 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
