Boron
Description :
Overview of Boron
Boron is a versatile metalloid widely used in glass, ceramics, fertilizers, detergents, and industrial chemical applications. It is an essential element in plant nutrition and acts as a flux in glassmaking, improving hardness, thermal resistance, and chemical stability. Boron is also a key component in boron-based chemicals, flame retardants, and specialty alloys, making it an indispensable raw material for both industrial and agricultural purposes.
In industrial and agricultural applications, Boron is valued for its high purity, consistency, and effectiveness. It is commonly used alongside Boric Acid, Borax Pentahydrate, Borax Decahydrate, and Aluminium Stearate, all available on ChemicalBull, providing formulators and manufacturers with a complete solution for glass, ceramics, fertilizers, and chemical processes.
