Why Choose Borate Fusion for Cement Analysis?
Borate fusion is ideal for preparing cement plant samples, from raw materials to finished products:
- Dissolve complex silicate-based matrices such as limestone, clay, shale, kiln dust, and clinker
- Eliminate matrix effects by producing uniform beads for high-quality XRF analysis
- Delivers accurate and repeatable results essential for process control and compliance
- Meets industry standards, including ASTM and ISO requirements
- Integrates seamlessly with existing workflows
Compared to press pellets or wet digestion, borate fusion ensures better accuracy, repeatability, and a safer preparation process.
