Boron (B) Micron Powder – Amorphous (95+%, 1–3 µm)

Description

Boron (B) Micron Powder – Amorphous (95+%, 1–3 µm)

Amorphous Boron (B) Micron Powder is a high-hardness metalloid powder with a particle size of 1–3 µm and a purity of 95+%. Unlike crystalline boron, the amorphous form lacks a well-defined crystal lattice, giving it unique chemical reactivity and making it highly suitable for fuels, pyrotechnics, ignition systems, and alloying applications.

With a Mohs hardness of 9.5, a melting point of 2400 °C, and a boiling point of 2700 °C, amorphous boron offers outstanding thermal stability, wear resistance, and combustion performance. Its fine particle size and amorphous structure make it particularly reactive, enhancing its effectiveness as an ignition aid and fuel additive.
