Boric acid, a white crystalline powder or three oblique axial plane scaly shiny crystal,
Boric acid, a white crystalline powder or three oblique axial plane scaly shiny crystal, there are creamy feel, no odor. Soluble in water, alcohol, glycerol, ethers and essential oils, the aqueous solution was slightly acidic. Is used extensively for glass (optical glass, acid-resistant glass, heat-resistant glass, insulating materials, glass fiber) industry, can improve the heat-resistant glass, transparent performance, increase mechanical strength, shorten the melting time.
Boric acid in the enamel, ceramic, the ceramic products used to enhance the luster and fastness, but also glaze, and a component of the pigment. In the pharmaceutical industry, metallurgical industry as additive, cosolvent, in particular, boron steel with high hardness and good ductility rolling to replace the nickel steel. Boric acid has anti-corrosion nature do preservatives, such as the wood preservation. In metal welding, leather, photography and other industries, as well as dyes, heat-resistant fire protection fabrics, synthetic gems, capacitors are used in the manufacture of cosmetics, it can also be used to make pesticides and catalyst. Trace element boron in agriculture as fertilizer, fertilizer for many crops, can increase the rate of rapeseed oil. By boric acid can produce a variety of boron, widely used in defense and other industrial sectors and research institutes.
