Established in the early 1970s under EaglePicher Boron and recently acquired by Ceradyne, Inc., Ceradyne Boron Products, LLC (Ceradyne Boron) supplies neutron absorbing and reflecting components in materials utilizing enriched ¹⁰Boron and ¹¹Boron isotopes.

The ¹⁰Boron isotope is a strong neutron absorber and is used for both nuclear waste containment and nuclear power plant neutron radiation control. The company also produces complementary chemical isotopes used in the normal operation and control of nuclear power plants. The ¹¹Boron isotope is used as an additive to semiconductor grade silicon as a "doping"agent and in other semiconductor processes where ultra high purity Boron (UHP) is required.

Major product categories include:

• Nuclear Power Plant Chemistries
  • Enriched Boric Acid (EBA)
  • Enriched Sodium Pentaborate
  • Depleted Zinc
  • ⁷Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate
