APPLICATIONS

Fluoroboric acid is used in plating circuits; metal finishing; electropolishing of aluminium and its alloy; component of galvanic baths; organic synthesis as catalyst for alkylations and polymerisation; stabilisation of diazo salts; manufacturing of inorganic fluoroborate salts.

Inorganic fluoroborate salts are used as components of fluxing and plating, as catalysts, in flame-retardant manufacture, in metal treatment; grain refining agents; as active fillers in resin bonded abrasives; in electrolytic generation of boron, preparation of glazing frits.
