  Boron (B) Micron Powder – Amorphous (90+%, <1 µm) is a high-purity, fine particle boron powder produced in amorphous form and optimized for advanced industrial and research applications. With an average particle size below 1 micron and a high specific surface area, this material offers excellent reactivity, uniform dispersion, and enhanced performance in both chemical and metallurgical processes.

  Amorphous boron is particularly valued for its high melting temperature, thermal stability, and strong reducing properties. The fine micron-scale particle distribution enables improved sintering behavior, faster reaction kinetics, and superior compatibility with composite systems. This product is suitable for demanding applications where controlled particle size, purity, and surface characteristics are critical.
