General Description
Odorless colorless liquid. An aqueous solution. Sinks and mixes with water.
Reactivity Profile
Solution is acidic and will corrode most metals [USCG, 1999]. Toxic and irritating hydrogen fluoride gas may form in fire [USCG, 1999].
Health Hazard
Early symptoms of lead intoxication via inhalation or ingestion are most commonly gastrointestinal disorders, colic, constipation, etc.; weakness, which may go on to paralysis, chiefly of the extensor muscles of the wrists and less often of the ankles, is noticeable in the most serious cases. Ingestion of a large amount causes local irritation of the alimentary tract; pain, leg cramps, muscle weakness, paresthesias, depression, coma, and death may follow in 1 or 2 days. Contact with eyes or skin may cause burns and/or irritation.
Potential Exposure
This material is used in material finishing operations.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic and irritating hydrogen fluoride gas may form in fire.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit

Chemical Properties
Lead fluoborate is a nonflammable colorless
liquid or crystalline powder. Faint odor.
Uses
Catalyst for mediation of calixarene formation via hydrogen-bonded dimers
Analyzed in terms of electochemical characterization of the effects of impurities and organic additives in lead electrowinning from fluoroborate electrolyte
Used in the development and optimization of a bipolar lead-boron tetrafluoride accumulator
Uses
Used in tin-lead electroplatingLead(II) tetrafluoroborate is used as a catalyst involved in calixarene formation through hydrogen-bonded dimmers and in the preparation of linear polyesters. It is involved in the development and optimization of a bipolar lead-boron tetrafluoride accumulator. It is an electroplating solution for coating metal objects with lead and curing agent for epoxy resins. Further, it is used in printing lines, tin-lead alloy plating, lead soldering and also as a circuit board tin-lead alloy plating.
storage
Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with thischemical you should be trained on its proper handling andstorage. Lead fluoborate must be stored to avoid contactwith oxidizers (such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, and nitrates) and chemically active metals(such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and zinc), sinceviolent reactions occur. A regulated, marked area should beestablished where this chemical is handled, used, or storedin compliance with OSHA Standard 1910.1045. Lead is regulated by an OSHA Standard 1910.1025. All requirementsof the standard must be followed.
