High-purity boron trichloride (BCl₃) gas supplied from China for semiconductor manufacturing, chemical synthesis, and metal processing.
High-purity boron trichloride (BCl₃) gas for semiconductor doping, boron compound production, organic synthesis catalysis, and steel boriding.
Boron trichloride is a colorless, toxic, and corrosive gas with a pungent, hay-like odor under standard conditions. As an important inorganic compound, it is non-combustible in air but decomposes rapidly in water or alcohol, generating boric acid and hydrochloric acid with significant heat release, and hydrolyzes in moist air to produce fumes. Boron trichloride serves primarily as a doping source for semiconductor silicon, a key raw material for producing various boron compounds (including boron nitride and boranes), an organic synthesis catalyst, a fluxing agent in silicate decomposition, and for boriding steel surfaces, typically transported as a liquefied compressed gas.
Global Shipping & Export Compliance
Boron trichloride (UN 1741) is classified as a toxic and corrosive compressed gas and must be handled under strict hazardous materials regulations.
- Sea freight (FCL / LCL) – standard export method
- Air freight – limited availability (regulatory controlled)
Required Export Documents
- Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
- Certificate of Analysis (COA)
- Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD)
- UN-certified cylinder documentation
- Commercial invoice & packing list
How to Order Boron Trichloride Gas from China
- Send technical requirements (purity, pressure, application)
- Receive quotation (EXW / FOB / CIF options)
- Confirm cylinder specification & compliance
- Review COA, MSDS, and certification documents
- Production, filling, and quality inspection
- Hazardous goods shipping arrangement
- Delivery and final inspection at destination
Common Mistakes When Buying Boron Trichloride Gas
- Choosing suppliers only based on lowest price
- Ignoring cylinder certification and pressure rating
- Not verifying moisture and impurity levels
- Skipping third-party inspection before shipment
