Decaborane is a highly reactive boron hydride compound (B10H14) used primarily in rocket propellants, neutron sources, and as a precursor in advanced materials synthesis. It is a white crystalline solid with high energy density and thermal stability under controlled conditions. This product has a CAS number of 17702-41-9 and a molecular weight of 122.22 g/mol. It must be stored between 2 to 8°C in a cool, dry place and handled with extreme caution, as it carries a "Danger" signal word due to its toxicity and flammability. Molekula supplies Decaborane from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
