[Character] It is a clear crystal or colorless acicular crystal with relative density of 1.85. It is soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol. At 16 ? 100ml water can solve 25g ammonium fluoroborate, and at 100? 97g. Its aqueous solution is weakly acidic. It decomposes when heated above 110? and sublimes when heated highly.

[Uses] It is used as resin finishing catalyst in printing and dyeing of textile, as gas flux to provide inert atmosphere, as flux in aluminum or copper welding, as catalyst in producing sand-type resin adhesive for metal casting and precise casting of magnesium, magnesium alloy and other oxidable metal. It is also used as flame retardant and chemical reagent, etc.

[Packing] Packing with plastic weaven bag lined with polythene plastic bag, 25kg perc bag.
