It plays a vital role in pharmaceutical synthesis, antibiotic production, and the textile dyeing process. Additionally, the increasing need for eco-friendly and sustainable solutions in the pulp and paper industry further boosts its usage. This market analysis report offers comprehensive insights on growth drivers, trends, key players, and future opportunities, segmented by type (powder, pellet, solution) and application (pharmaceuticals, pulp & paper, metal recovery, textiles, and more).

Sodium Borohydride (NaBH₄) is a powerful reducing agent commonly used in various chemical processes. It is a white to gray crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water and lower alcohols. Sodium borohydride is particularly important in the fields of chemistry and industrial manufacturing due to its ability to donate hydrogen atoms, making it effective in reduction reactions.

Here are some uses of the Sodium Borohydride:

• Pharmaceutical Industry:
  • Sodium borohydride is used in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for reducing carbonyl compounds to alcohols during drug synthesis.
  • It is also employed in antibiotic production, such as in the manufacturing of chloramphenicol.
• Pulp and Paper Industry:
  • In the bleaching process for paper, sodium borohydride helps to reduce impurities, such as chromophores, in the pulp. This results in whiter and brighter paper products.
  • It is also used in the production of hydrosulfite, a compound used for pulp bleaching.
• Textile Industry:
  • Sodium borohydride is used in the dyeing process, particularly for the reduction of vat dyes. It serves as a reducing agent for the conversion of insoluble dye forms to their soluble state, making the dyeing process more efficient.
• Chemical Industry:
  • It is employed in the synthesis of fine chemicals, particularly for the selective reduction of compounds where milder reducing agents are ineffective.
  • Sodium borohydride is also used in the production of sodium dithionite (Na₂S₂O₄), which is commonly used as a bleaching agent and reducing agent in various industrial processes.
• Others
