BINDERS FOR XRF – SAFE, EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVES TO BORIC ACID
When producing pressed pellets for XRF analysis, a binder is in most cases required to achieve stable, homogeneous samples that deliver reliable results. Boric acid has long been a common choice, but since it is now classified as toxic under REACH, the need for safer and more sustainable alternatives is increasing.
Together with Fluxana, Berner Lab offers several modern binders developed to provide good pressing properties, clean backgrounds and high resistance to X‑rays – without the drawbacks associated with boric acid.
