Fluoroboric acid (Cat No.:M074911) is a strong, non-oxidizing acid composed of tetrafluoroborate anions and protons, commonly supplied as an aqueous solution. It is widely used in electroplating, metal cleaning, and surface treatment processes due to its ability to effectively remove oxides and activate metal surfaces. Fluoroboric acid also serves as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in esterification and polymerization reactions. Its high acidity, thermal stability, and solubility in water and alcohols make it valuable in industrial and laboratory settings requiring strong yet non-oxidizing acid conditions.
