In the colorimetric determination of Pi for the extract of the modified Bray-2 test, fluoride can interfere with color formation, and thus boric acid was added to form noninterfering
fluoroborate [18].

fluoroborate glasses," Optics Communications, vol.
The use of potassium beryllium
fluoroborate (KBBF) once stalled the project and Chen Chuangtian, a CAS member along with Xu Zuyuan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering turned to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology for help.
DBF contains
fluoroborate ion in its structure, which is known to be more resistant to water than the chlorine found in DDAC.
Fluoroborate plating also was noted as a substance once used in circuit board fabrication, and possibly not yet completely eliminated.
Because the oxygen that reacts with magnesium is found in the cores themselves, the researchers were able to limit the oxidation effects by adding 1% potassium
fluoroborate to certain sand mixtures.
This combination ion-selective probe with replaceable sensing membranes has been designed and optimized for analyte ions: ammonium, bromide, cadmium, calcium, chloride, copper, cyanide, fluoride,
fluoroborate, iodide, lead, magnesium, nitrate, perchlorate, potassium, silver, sulfide and surfactant.
