Amorphous Boron (B) Micron Powder is a high-purity boron material with an average particle size below 1 micron, designed for advanced industrial, chemical, and energy-related applications. Owing to its amorphous structure, fine particle size, and high specific surface area, this boron powder exhibits enhanced reactivity compared to crystalline boron forms.
With a boron content exceeding 95%, low moisture, and controlled impurity levels, this material is suitable for processes requiring high chemical activity, uniform dispersion, and reliable performance. Its fine morphology enables efficient interaction in solid-state reactions, energetic formulations, metallurgical processes, and functional material synthesis.
The high melting temperature (>2100 °C) and excellent thermal stability further support its use in high-temperature environments and demanding processing conditions.
