Diborane decomposes by itself especially in its pure form or when used in high concentration in a mixture. 

The decomposition appears to a lesser degree in Hydrogen mixtures. 

To solve this problem, Arkonic applied its sole proprietary cylinder treatment technology to passivate cylinders enhancing the stability of Diborane mixtures. 

With this method, Diborane mixtures will guarantee its shelf-life over 24 months
