Sodium Borohydride Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- NaBH4
- Sodium Tetrahydroborate
- Sodium Tetrahydridoborate
Sodium borohydride supplier for pharmaceutical, fine-chemical, pulp, textile and industrial process buyers in Malaysia. Also known as NaBH4, sodium tetrahydroborate and sodium tetrahydridoborate, this inorganic reducing agent is selected for selective reduction duties rather than generic oxidant work.
Commercial forms include free-flowing powder, granules and stabilised alkaline solution, with industrial and reagent grades quoted against the process need. Powder and granules support solid charging, while alkaline solution suits metered liquid addition where continuous dosing is preferred.
Typical uses include aldehyde and ketone reduction in synthesis, pulp and textile bleaching chemistry, on-site dithionite generation, and selected metal recovery or metal-finishing processes. Send the form, grade and application so the quotation can match the requirement.
Send the required form or grade, target assay or solution strength, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.
- CAS number
- 16940-66-2
- Formula
- NaBH4
- Grade

- Appearance
- white to off-white crystalline powder or granules; alkaline solutions are clear to slightly hazy
Sodium Borohydride grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial grade sodium borohydride powder | free-flowing crystalline powder | — | Bulk reducing-agent charges for chemical synthesis, bleaching chemistry and general industrial reduction processes. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium borohydride granules | free-flowing granules | — | Controlled solid dosing where powder dusting is less preferred for handling or charging practice. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Stabilised alkaline sodium borohydride solution | alkaline aqueous solution | — | Metered liquid addition for process reduction, on-site reducing-agent generation and continuous dosing systems. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Reagent grade sodium borohydride | high-purity powder or solid | — | Laboratory, pilot and fine-chemical reduction work where a tighter purity or documentation package is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture, acids and oxidisers. Contact with water or acids can release hydrogen; control dust and follow the safety data for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about sodium borohydride
What forms of sodium borohydride are commonly requested?
Buyers usually request industrial powder, free-flowing granules, stabilised alkaline solution or a reagent-grade solid. Powder suits bulk charging, granules reduce dusting in some handling setups, and alkaline solution is preferred for metered liquid dosing. State the form with the enquiry.
Is sodium borohydride the same as sodium tetrahydroborate or NaBH4?
Yes. Sodium borohydride, sodium tetrahydroborate, sodium tetrahydridoborate and NaBH4 name the same chemical (CAS 16940-66-2). Form and grade still matter for handling and process fit, so include those details when requesting a quotation.
Is sodium borohydride the same as sodium cyanoborohydride or sodium hydride?
No. Sodium cyanoborohydride and sodium hydride are different reducing agents with different handling and process behaviour. Order sodium borohydride (NaBH4) only when that identity is specified, and quote CAS 16940-66-2 if the requirement sheet is unclear.
What is sodium borohydride used for in industry?
It is a selective inorganic reducing agent used in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis, aldehyde and ketone reduction, pulp and textile bleaching chemistry, on-site dithionite generation, and selected metal recovery or metal-finishing processes. Describe the process so the form and grade can be matched.
Which details should a buyer include for a sodium borohydride quote?
Provide form or grade, application, any assay or solution-strength target, quantity, delivery location and preferred packing. List required product documents so available documentation and commercial terms can be confirmed with the quotation.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and required documents in the enquiry. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade; fixed pack sizes are not assumed on this page.
