Boric Acid, also known as hydrogen borate or orthoboric acid, is a mild acid of boron with the chemical formula H₃BO₃. It exists as colorless crystals or a white powder, and is soluble in water. This versatile compound is widely recognized for its numerous beneficial properties and finds extensive use across a broad spectrum of industries. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to offer high-quality Boric Acid in various physical forms to meet the diverse needs of our global clientele.

Our Boric Acid product is available in different physical states, including fine powder, uniform flakes, distinct chunks, and irregular lumps. These varied forms allow for flexible application depending on the specific industrial process or intended use. The purity of our Boric Acid is maintained at high levels, commonly available at 99% or even 99.9%, ensuring consistent performance and reliability in sensitive applications across various sectors.

The applications of Boric Acid are remarkably diverse, underscoring its importance in modern manufacturing and technology. One of its most well-known uses is as an effective flame retardant. When subjected to heat, Boric Acid undergoes dehydration, releasing water molecules. This process absorbs heat and helps to cool the material, thereby inhibiting combustion and reducing flame spread. It is particularly valuable in treating cellulosic materials like wood and textiles, significantly enhancing their fire resistance properties, which is crucial for safety in construction and consumer goods.

Another critical area of application for Boric Acid is in the manufacturing of glass and ceramics. It is a key ingredient in the production of borosilicate glass, such as Pyrex. Borosilicate glass is highly valued for its low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock – a property essential for laboratory glassware, cookware, and other high-temperature applications. In the ceramics industry, Boric Acid acts as a flux in glazes and enamels. It lowers the melting point of the mixture, allowing for firing at lower temperatures, while also improving the durability, hardness, chemical resistance, and aesthetic properties like gloss and color vibrancy of the finished ceramic ware.

Boric Acid also serves as a fundamental chemical precursor for the synthesis of various boron-containing compounds. These derivatives are used in a wide array of advanced materials and industrial processes. Examples include borate esters, boron halides, and other specialty chemicals vital for producing adhesives, sealants, lubricants, and advanced ceramics. Its role as a building block highlights its strategic importance in the chemical industry value chain.

In agriculture, Boric Acid is utilized as a micronutrient fertilizer. Boron is an essential trace element required for healthy plant growth, playing crucial roles in cell wall formation, calcium utilization, sugar transport, and reproductive development. Boron deficiency can severely stunt plant growth and reduce crop yields. Applying Boric Acid to soils deficient in boron can rectify this issue, improving plant health, vigor, and productivity, contributing to enhanced food security.

Furthermore, Boric Acid has historically been used for its mild antiseptic and antifungal properties. While its direct medical applications have decreased, it is still found in some non-medical products like eyewashes (at very dilute concentrations) and foot powders. Importantly, it is widely used as an effective insecticide, particularly targeting household pests like ants, cockroaches, termites, and silverfish. It acts as a stomach poison and also damages their exoskeletons through abrasion, providing a long-lasting and relatively safe method for pest control when used appropriately in baits and powders.

Other important industrial uses of Boric Acid include its function as a flux in metallurgy, especially for welding and brazing ferrous metals. It cleans the metal surface by dissolving oxides, allowing for stronger and cleaner joints. In the nuclear industry, Boric Acid is employed as a neutron absorber, helping to control the reactivity of nuclear reactors by slowing down the chain reaction. It also finds application in the leather tanning process, as a preservative and buffer, and in the production of certain types of industrial lubricants and hydraulic fluids.
