Product Overview

Boric Acid Powder (25kg) is a refined, high-purity chemical compound derived from the reaction of Colemanite ore with Sulphuric Acid. This process produces a white, crystalline powder containing boron, a key element used across numerous industrial and agricultural applications.

Known for its mild acidity and versatile performance, boric acid enhances heat resistance, strengthens materials, improves chemical stability, and serves as a key additive in detergents, glassmaking, ceramics, and fire-retardant systems.

Key Features and Benefits

High Purity: Consistent chemical composition for reliable performance.
Fine White Powder: Easy to blend, dissolve, or disperse in formulations.
Multi-Industry Applications: Suitable for use in manufacturing, agriculture, coatings, and cleaning agents.
Excellent Thermal Stability: Improves heat and chemical resistance in treated materials.
Bulk Supply: Supplied in durable 25kg bags for safe handling and storage.

Typical Applications

Glass Production
Prevents devitrification and increases the glass’s resistance to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress. Improves optical and structural stability in borosilicate glass and similar materials.

Ceramics and Enamels
Acts as a binder, reducing melting and adhesion temperatures. Enhances scratch and break resistance, improves glaze finish, and strengthens chemical resistance. Commonly used in porcelain tiles, enamel coatings, and applications where sodium-free formulations are preferred.

Detergents and Cleaning Agents
Functions as a germicide, bleaching agent, and water softener. When added to detergents or soaps, it can shorten washing time, lower washing temperatures, and enhance overall cleaning efficiency.

Agriculture and Horticulture
Provides a vital source of boron, an essential micronutrient for healthy plant growth and yield. Suitable for use on boron-deficient soils, either alone or blended with standard fertilisers.

Fire Retardant Formulations
Used as a base compound in borate fire retardants to reduce ignition rates. Commonly applied in wood composites, marine coatings, and aerospace materials when combined with DOT (Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate).

Wood Preservation
Acts as a protective agent against rot, moss, fungi, and bacterial growth on both dry and wet wooden surfaces. Frequently incorporated into borate-based wood treatment systems for long-term durability.

Lubrication
When dispersed in petroleum or vegetable oils, boric acid forms colloidal suspensions that provide excellent lubrication for ceramic and metal surfaces.
