Product Code : RE-GdB6-5N-CU
Borides are hard, high-melting materials with metal-like conductivity. They are stable to nonoxidizing acids but break down in strong oxidizing agents and strong alkalis. Borides are used in semiconductors, superconductors, diamagnetic, paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, anti-ferromagnetic, turbine blades, and rocket nozzles. Borides have recently been discovered to be superconductive and ultra-incompressible.
Gadolinium Boride, also called Gadolinium Hexaboride, is one of the rare earth borides, the molecular formula is GdB6. It has a wide range of uses and have been successfully used in radar, aerospace, consumer electronics, instrumentation, nuclear power, and other fields.

Packing of Gadolinium Boride
Standard Packing:
Typical bulk packaging includes palletized plastic 5 gallon/25 kg. pails, fiber and steel drums to 1 ton super sacks in full container (FCL) or truck load (T/L) quantities. Research and sample quantities and hygroscopic, oxidizing or other air sensitive materials may be packaged under argon or vacuum. Solutions are packaged in polypropylene, plastic or glass jars up to palletized 440 gallon liquid totes Special package is available on request.
ATTs’ Gadolinium Boride is carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation and to preserve the quality of our products in their original condition.
