Applications
Grades
Characteristics
- Theoretically composed of boric oxide and water. This is available as granules or a powder, both of which are stable under normal conditions, free-flowing, and easily handled by means of air or mechanical conveying. In solution, the product is mildly acidic.
Benefits
- Both a flux and a network former
- In combination with a sodium borate, boric acid can be used to adjust the sodium-to-boron ratio in glasses which require low sodium levels
- Changes the oxidation reactions and promotes the formation of char, thereby inhibiting combustion in cellulose materials
- Highly effective absorber of thermal neutrons
- Prevents metal surface oxidation in welding, brazing, and soldering
- Greatly improves the tack and green strength of starch adhesives by cross-linking conjugated hydroxyl groups
- Can be incorporated in aqueous and non-aqueous systems for corrosion inhibition, lubrication, or thermal oxidative stabilization
- Boric acid technical granular (TG) is approved for use in organic farming
