Description

Copper(II) tetrafluoroborate, Cu(BF4)2, [38465-60-0], MW 237.15, is also known as copper fluoborate. It is usually sold as a concentrated solution and it is prepared by the neutralization of tetrafluoroboric acid with basic copper(II) carbonate or copper(II) hydroxide.


Copper fluoroborate is a dark-blue odorless aqueous solution. Sinks and mixes with water. (USCG, 1999)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 151 [Substances - Toxic (Non-combustible)]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Do not get water inside containers. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 151 [Substances - Toxic (Non-combustible)]: As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. SPILL: Increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance shown above. FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)

Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Flush with water, rinse with dilute solution of sodium bicarbonate or soda ash. (USCG, 1999)

Goggles or face shield; rubber apron and gloves (USCG, 1999)

Drug Information

Inhalation of mist irritates nose and throat. Ingestion causes pain and vomiting. Contact causes severe irritation of eyes and irritation of skin. (USCG, 1999)

INHALATION: move to fresh air. INGESTION: give large amounts of water and induce vomiting if required. EYES: flush with water for at least 15 min.; get medical attention if irritation persists. SKIN: flush with water. (USCG, 1999)
