1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate

Product Overview

1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate is a premier imidazolium-based ionic liquid engineered for high-performance industrial applications. As a room-temperature ionic liquid, it combines the structural stability of the tetrafluoroborate anion with the tunable properties of the hexyl-methyl imidazolium cation. This specific configuration results in a material with exceptional thermal stability, wide electrochemical windows, and favorable viscosity profiles, making it an ideal candidate for use in advanced electrolytes, organic synthesis media, and separation technologies.

Our manufacturing process ensures stringent control over impurity levels, particularly water, halogens, and residual starting materials. This attention to detail guarantees consistent performance in sensitive electronic and chemical systems where reliability is paramount.
