PRODUCTS
Available from our U.S. Inventory
Dimethylamine borane Widely used in circuit board production for surface prep
to allow copper-resin bonding. Also used as a mild reducing agent for organic synthesis,
and in electroless metallization of circuit boards & semiconductors. More...
Sodium cyanoborohydride Highly selective reducing agent for aldehydes, ketones,
oximes, enamines. Especially useful for reductive amination of ketones and aldehydes,
reductive alkylation of amines and hydrazines, reductive displacement of halides
& tosylates & deoxygenation of aldehydes & ketones. More...
Sodium borohydride We supply drum quantities of sodium borohydride (powder or
granules) with typical analysis less than 5 ppm of most metals. More...

SERVICES
Research and Process Development
Boron Specialties' lab-based services focus on the chemistry of boron and selected complex hydrides in specialty
& fine chemical applications, including:
- Development of custom boronated compounds from gram to kg scale
- Scale-up support (safety, yield, cost optimisation)
- Application testing (e.g., dehydrogenation and regeneration of chemical hydrogen storage candidates)
- Consulting on larger-scale process applications of commercially available boron-based
reducing & hydroboration reagents
- Recycling and waste reduction strategies
- TSCA compliance and other regulatory matters
Global Sourcing
Boron Specialties can identify, qualify, import, and custom-stock specialized boron-based
and other compounds. For those that are not commercially available, we have extensive
experience in product development to support cost-effective tolling
of custom boronated compounds at a scale beyond our own laboratory capabilities. We also offer warehouse, distribution, and small
packaging services for globally-based manufacturers serving the U.S. market.
Commercial development
Boron Specialties provides a full range of commercial support services to help move
your new boron-based product or technology from the lab to the global market. Our
services include process, cost, and market evaluation, partner development, product
configuration & packaging, literature development, business development, and product
launch support.
