Potassium Tetrafluoroborate Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Application (Metal Processing, Fluxing Agent, Abrasives, Soldering Agent, Others) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Potassium Tetrafluoroborate is a potassium salt of tetrafluoroboric acid with the molecular formula KBF₄. It is odorless, white solid, which is scantly soluble in water. Potassium Tetrafluoroborate is obtained by reacting potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide with tetrafluoroboric acid. It is usually used as a fluxing agent in the manufacturing of aluminium boron alloy, and also as a raw material for preparing fluorine salts. Potassium Tetrafluoroborate has witnessed high demand from several industries due to its applications in casting technology, surface treatment, metal surface treatment, glass industry, and automotive industry.

The factor expected to drive the potassium tetrafluoroborate market is the rise in demand for abrasives. Potassium tetrafluoroborate is used as a filler in resin bonded abrasives in metal treatment. Abrasives have observed high demand from end-users such as automotive, machinery, metal fabrication, and electronic & electrical equipment for grinding and polishing applications, hence acting as a market driver

However, the side effects due to making contact or ingesting potassium tetrafluoroborate is expected to restrain the market growth. Potassium tetrafluoroborate is known to cause skin and eye irritation, nausea vomiting, and diarrhea, hence the slowdown in the market is expected.
