White powder

Lithium metaborate (LMB) isa good ion conductor and wide bandgap insulator commonly used as a flux orsolvent to identify and characterize uranium and thorium-containing resistantminerals. LMB is also used as a chemical modifier during thegeneration of new compounds from clays and refractory materials. Because of itshigh optical damage thresholds, mechanical durability, and deep-ultraviolettransparency, it is a suitable material for non-linear optics.
