Product Description

Lithium metaborate anhydrous, 99.9%, is a high-purity inorganic lithium compound widely used in analytical chemistry, materials science, glass and ceramic research, and laboratory applications. Because of its excellent fluxing properties and high purity, researchers use lithium metaborate in sample preparation, mineral analysis, and the production of specialized glass and ceramic materials.

In addition, lithium metaborate is commonly used as a flux for the fusion of geological and inorganic samples prior to elemental analysis. Its consistent composition and high purity provide reliable performance in laboratory research, analytical testing, and materials development.
