Applications and Industrial Uses

Sodium Borohydrides primary application is in the reduction of aldehydes, ketones, and some esters to their corresponding alcohols, an essential reaction in organic synthesis. It is also employed in specialty chemical manufacturing and metal recovery processes. The compounds consistent performance makes it valuable in pharmaceutical, textile, and paper industries.


Safe Storage and Handling

To maintain its stability, store Sodium Borohydride in a cool, dry area within sealed containers, away from acids, moisture, and oxidizing agents. Decomposition in unsuitable conditions can release hydrogen gas. Packaging options include 25 kg HDPE drums or tailored solutions to meet industrial demands. Follow all safety and hazard protocols according to UN 1426, Class 4.3 guidelines.

FAQs of Sodium Borohydride:


Q: How should Sodium Borohydride be stored to ensure stability?

A: Sodium Borohydride should be kept in a cool, dry place within tightly closed HDPE drums or suitable containers. It must be isolated from acids, moisture, and oxidizing agents to prevent decomposition and hazardous hydrogen gas release.

Q: What are the main industrial uses of Sodium Borohydride?

A: Industrially, Sodium Borohydride is used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, especially for converting aldehydes and ketones to alcohols. It is also utilized in metal recovery and specialty chemical synthesis processes.

Q: When is Sodium Borohydride most effective as a reducing agent?

A: Sodium Borohydride is most effective in reducing aldehydes, ketones, and certain esters under controlled conditions, typically in the absence of water and acids, which could cause premature decomposition.

Q: Where can Sodium Borohydride be sourced in India?

A: Sodium Borohydride is available through authorized distributors, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders across India. Packaging and grading are often customized to industrial requirements.

Q: What precautions are necessary while handling Sodium Borohydride?

A: Personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment due to its toxic and hazardous nature. Avoid exposure to moisture and acids as the substance can decompose, releasing dangerous hydrogen gas.

Q: What are the benefits of using Sodium Borohydride in chemical processes?

A: The main benefit is its effectiveness as a strong, selective reducing agent, offering clean conversion of functional groups and efficient yields in organic synthesis and industrial applications.
