Application Fields:
Glass and Glass Fiber: It is used in the production of high - grade glasses such as optical glass, acid - resistant glass, and organoboron glass, as well as glass fibers. It can improve the heat resistance and transparency of glass, enhance mechanical strength, and shorten the melting time.
Enamel and Ceramics: In the enamel and ceramic industries, it is used to produce glazes. It can reduce the thermal expansion of the glaze, lower the curing temperature of the glaze, thereby preventing cracking and glaze peeling, and improving the gloss and firmness of the products.
Metallurgy: It is used as an additive and flux in the production of boron - steel, enabling boron - steel to have high hardness and good rolling properties. Boric acid can prevent the surface oxidation during metal welding, brazing, and lap - welding. It is also a raw material for ferroboron alloys.
Leather: It is used for deashing the surface of raw hides to prevent gray spots on the leather surface after retanning.
Pharmaceutical Industry: It is used in the production of boric acid ointment, disinfectants, astringents, preservatives, etc.
Agriculture: It can be used to produce boron fertilizers and adjust the boron content.
Storage Method: It should be stored in a ventilated and dry warehouse, not stacked outdoors. It needs to be protected from fire and moisture, and should not be stored together with alkaline substances, and kept away from strong oxidants.
