What is Lead fluoroborate?
Lead fluoroborate (CAS 13814-96-5), also known as lead tetrafluoroborate, is an inorganic lead salt supplied primarily as an aqueous solution for electroplating and metal finishing operations.
Where is Lead fluoroborate used?
- Electroplating: primary lead source in fluoborate bath formulations for lead and lead-tin alloy coatings on copper, steel, and electronic substrates
- Printed circuit boards: plating solder-compatible lead-tin finishes on through-holes and surface features
- Electronics: bearing overlays and connector coatings
- Mining and metallurgy: electrorefining to recover and purify lead from mixed-metal feedstocks
- It delivers high-solubility lead ion concentrations that support stable, high-speed deposition baths.
Commercial specifications
- Aqueous solution, typically around 50% by weight
- Bulk quantities in drums and intermediate bulk containers
