    Sodium hexafluoroantimonate
    Product Introduction

    Sodium hexafluoroantimonate (CAS 16925-25-0), with the chemical formula NaSbF6, is an inorganic salt consisting of sodium cations and hexafluoroantimonate anions. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder. The anion adopts a stable octahedral geometry (designated as OC-6-11), which imparts unique stability and reactivity. Sodium hexafluoroantimonate (CAS 16925-25-0) is highly valued in high-tech industries for its ability to provide a non-coordinating anion, making it an exceptional component for cationic polymerization and complex Lewis acid catalytic systems.

    Packaging

    Standard industrial packaging options for Sodium hexafluoroantimonate include:

    • 25kg fiber drums with double-layer PE moisture-proof inner bags (Standard export packaging).

    • 50kg reinforced plastic drums for heavy-duty industrial handling.

    • Small vacuum-sealed bags (1kg - 5kg) for laboratory and pilot-scale use.

    • All packaging is hermetically sealed to prevent moisture absorption and is shipped in compliance with hazardous material (Class 6.1/8) regulations.

     
    Storage

    Sodium hexafluoroantimonate is toxic and hygroscopic. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed to protect from atmospheric moisture. Store in a dedicated area for toxic and corrosive substances, away from food and feed. Store away from strong acids and strong bases. When exposed to moisture, it may release small amounts of hydrogen fluoride. Properly stored, it has a shelf life of at least 24 months.
