Overview
Lithium metaborate melts at about 845 ℃ and is a common flux for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. It is also used in specialty glass, ceramic glazes and lithium borate system research. High-purity grades have strict limits on Fe, Si and moisture.
- Melting point about 845 ℃
- XRF flux grade
- Moisture ≤ 0.5%
