ATSDR - MMG: Diborane |
 | | Diborane is heavier than air; exposure to concentrations exceeding the PEL may result in skin, respiratory, and eye irritation in poorly ventilated, enclosed, or low-lying areas. |
 | | Diborane is produced by the reaction of lithium hydride with boron trifluoride catalyzed by ether at 25ºC. Diborane is used in rocket propellants and as a reducing agent, as a rubber vulcanizer, as a catalyst for olefin polymerization, as a flame-speed accelerator, and as a doping agent in the manufacture of semiconductor devices. |
 | | Diborane is incompatible with oxidizers, aluminum, halogens, and water. |
