TRIETHYLBORANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Triethylborane is a highly reactive organoboron compound with the chemical formula C6H15B, widely used as an initiator in radical polymerization processes and as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is particularly valuable in the production of high-energy fuels and pyrotechnic compositions due to its ability to ignite spontaneously in air. Triethylborane is also employed in the aerospace industry as a hypergolic fuel, ensuring reliable ignition of rocket engines. Handling triethylborane requires stringent safety precautions, including using protective equipment and working under an inert atmosphere to prevent accidental ignition. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers away from moisture and oxidizing agents. Despite its reactivity and associated hazards, triethylborane's unique properties make it a crucial component in various industrial and scientific applications, contributing to advancements in materials science, aerospace technology, and chemical manufacturing.
