Industrial Boric Acid
Purity ≥ 99.5%; used as neutron absorbers in nuclear power plants, in optical glass, medical disinfection, enamel, ceramics, and more.
Product Details
Industrial Boric Acid (H₃BO₃)
Product Overview
Boric acid, with the chemical formula H₃BO₃ or B(OH)₃, appears as a colorless crystal or white powder at room temperature and pressure. Its aqueous solution is weakly acidic. As a fundamental industrial raw material, it is known as the "seasoning of industry."
Core Features
- High Purity: Purity ≥ 99.5%, with extremely low impurity levels
- Neutron absorptionEfficient thermal neutron absorber; essential material for nuclear power plant safety control systems.
- Heat resistance: Significantly improves glass heat resistance and transparency
- Antibacterial: Pharmaceutical-grade boric acid is suitable for use in cosmetics, hygiene products, and pharmaceuticals.
Application Areas
⚛️ Nuclear Industry
Boron-10 isotope is an efficient thermal neutron absorber and an essential material in the safety and control systems of nuclear power plants. Special Quality (SQ) boric acid, used in the nuclear industry, increases the proportion of boron-10.
🏭 Glass and Fiberglass
Used in the production of high-grade glass and fiberglass, including optical glass, acid-resistant glass, and acrylic. Enhances heat resistance and transparency, improves mechanical strength, and reduces melting time.
🏺 Enamel and Ceramic
Used in enamel and ceramic industries for glaze production, it reduces thermal expansion of the glaze and lowers the curing temperature. This prevents cracking and glaze peeling while enhancing surface gloss and durability.
🧪 Chemical Industry
Used to produce various borates, including sodium borohydride, boric acid, potassium tungstate borate, and potassium borohydride.
🏥 Pharmaceutical Industry
Used to produce pharmaceutical products such as boric acid ointment, disinfectants, astringents, and preservatives.
