Applications:

. Mainly used as organic reaction catalyst, such as esterification, alkylation, polymerization, isomerization, sulfonation, nitration, etc. Anti-oxidant when casting magnesium and alloys. It is the main raw material for preparing boron halide, elemental boron, borane, sodium borohydride, etc.

. In many organic reactions and petroleum products, as a catalyst for condensation reactions, BF3 and its compounds are used as curing agents in epoxy resins. It can be used as a raw material for preparing optical fiber preforms.
. Mainly used for ion implantation and doping in the production of semiconductor devices and integrated circuits.
. Anti-oxidant when casting magnesium and alloy.
