The knowledge to Sodium Borohydride

Sodium Borohydride is well known for its strong reducing power which can be widely used in many industries such as metal processing, paper bleaching, medicine, and water treatment etc. Just because of its reductant effect, it can be used to remove heavy metals, reducing color, reducing smell, oxidizing, reducing tail gas, and other kinds of pollution control. So it is really good chemicals in chemical industry and pharmaceuticals etc.

What is the Appearance of Sodium borohydride?

Generally speaking, Sodium borohydride exists in powder, granule & 12% solution at market for sale.  All three work as reducing agent but just difference form. But in price, granule is often regarded as much higher price than powder. Sodium borohydride 12% solution is just solution of sodium borohydride which accounts for 12% in weight. For 12% solution, the most important to be used as reducing agent is pH value which should be higher than 10. 

The chemical reaction of Sodium Borohydride

Sodium borohydride can not be put close or together with water (moisture). It is of high moisture absorbing ability. It reacts with water and has violent reaction, maybe explosive. It also reacts with oxidizing materials and has same effect as with water.

Sodium borohydride packing & transportation

Because of its dangerous characters, Sodium borohydride is often packed in painted iron drums and tightly sealed. Inside, often use foil bags to pack the materials to avoid moisture-absorbing and leakage etc. Especially for exportation, packing is strictly controlled by government. In transportation, Sodium borohydride can not be put together with other materials in one container as shipping regulation requires. So no matter how many kilograms Sodium borohydride to be shipped, always full container is required to load. 

Sodium borohydride supplying status in China

In recent years, China has tough regulation on pollution control. This results in the close of many chemical products especially heavy risk chemicals. Meanwhile, after 2015 Tianjin explosion, dangerous chemicals are under strict control by government. So there is few sodium borohydride suppliers in China. Now for overseas exporting, Hefei TNJ Chemical (www.tnjchem.com) is the rich experienced in exporting Sodium borohydride to Europe, Korea, America, Southeast Asia etc. Now it exports Sodium borohydride about 200 metric tons per year. Meanwhile, some dealers in China also share the cake of overseas market.
