Zinc tetrafluoroborate

Chemical Properties

clear colorless solution

Uses

Plating and bonderizing, resin curing.

General Description

Colorless odorless aqueous solution. Sinks and mixes with water.

Reactivity Profile

Acidic inorganic salts, such as Zinc tetrafluoroborate, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.

Health Hazard

Ingestion may cause irritation or corrosion of the alimentary tract. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation.
