Boric acid (H₃BO₃) is a mild, versatile compound with applications spanning glass, ceramics, agriculture and preservation.
Glass & Ceramics
Boric acid is a key ingredient in borosilicate glass, giving it low thermal expansion and high heat resistance. In ceramics and glazes it improves durability and surface finish.
Agriculture
As a source of the micronutrient boron, boric acid is used in fertilisers to correct boron deficiency in crops, supporting healthy growth and yield.
Preservation & Other Uses
It also serves as a mild antiseptic, a wood preservative and a flame retardant, and as a precursor to other boron compounds. Purity and consistent grading are the specifications buyers should confirm.
