Detailed Description

Industrial grade boric acid 99%min purity used for glass manufacturer Description Boric acid (orthoboric acid) is a weakly acidic hydrate of boric oxide with mild antiseptic, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Boric acid can be used to treat yeast infections and acne, for eyewash by treating any bacterial infection and soothing inflamed eyes, and as a cleanser, deodorizer, stain remover, disinfectant and mold killer. Boric acid can be used as a pesticide to control a variety of pests, as a fungicide for citrus, and as an herbicide along rights-of-way. Boric acid can be used for the manufacture of textile fiberglass, household glass products and the glass used in LCD displays, to reinforce plastics in various products (boats, computer circuit boards and pipes), as a flame retardant, and as a pH buffer agent in plating. - - - - Specifications | Item | specification for Domestic 99.5% | specification for Turkey 99.9% | Boric Acid | 99.5% | 99.9% | SO4 | 0.3% | 0.1% | Cl | 0.15% | 0.05% | Fe | 0.06% | 0.002% | Water insoluble | 0.3% | 0.01% | - - - - Uses Industrial The primary industrial use of boric acid is in the manufacture of monofilament [fiberglass] usually referred to as textile fiberglass. Textile fiberglass is used to reinforce plastics in applications that range from boats, to industrial piping to computer circuit boards.[[21]] In the jewelry industry, boric acid is often used in combination with [denatured alcohol] to reduce surface [oxidation] and [firescale] from forming on metals during [annealing] and [soldering] operations. Boric acid, mixed with borax (sodium tetraborate decahydrate) at the weight ratio of 4:5, is highly soluble in water, though they are not so soluble separately.The solution is used for fire retarding agent of wood by impregnation. It is also used in the manufacturing of ramming mass, a fine [silica]-containing powder used for producing [induction furnace] linings and [ceramics]. Boric acid is one of the most commonly used substances that can neutralize active [hydrofluoric acid] (HF). It works by forcing the free F anions into complex salts. This process defeats the extreme toxicity of hydrofluoric acid, particularly its ability to sequester ionic calcium from blood serum which can lead to cardiac arrest and bone decomposition; such an event can occur from just minor skin contact with HF. Boric acid is added to [borax] for use as welding [flux] by [blacksmiths]. Boric acid, in combination with [silicone oil], is used to manufacture [Silly Putty]. Boric acid may be used in [Marcellus Shale] hydraulic fracturing in Pennsylvania. Medical Boric acid can be used as an [antiseptic] for minor burns or cuts and is sometimes used in salves and [dressings], such as [boracic lint]. Boric acid is applied in a very dilute solution as an eye wash. Dilute boric acid can be used as a vaginal douche to treat [bacterial vaginosis] due to excessive alkalinity,as well as [candidiasis] due to non-albicans candida.As an [antibacterial] compound, boric acid can also be used as an [acne] treatment. It is also used as prevention of [athlete's foot], by inserting powder in the socks or stockings, and in alcohol solution can be used to treat some kinds of [otitis externa] (ear infection) in both humans and animals. The preservative in [urine] sample bottles in the UK is boric acid. Boric acid solutions used as an eye wash or on abraded skin are known to be toxic, particularly to infants, especially after repeated use; this is because of its slow elimination rate. Insecticidal Boric acid was first registered in the US as an insecticide in 1948 for control of [cockroaches], [termites], [fire ants], [fleas], [silverfish], and many other [insects]. The product is generally considered to be safe to use in household kitchens to control cockroaches and ants. It acts as a stomach poison affecting the insects' [metabolism], and the dry powder is [abrasive] to the insects' [exoskeletons]. Boric acid also has the reputation as "the gift that keeps on killing" in that roaches that cross over lightly dusted areas do not die immediately, but that the effect is like shards of glass cutting them apart. This often allows a roach to go back to the nest where it soon dies. Cockroaches, being [cannibalistic], eat others killed by contact or consumption of boric acid, consuming the powder trapped in the dead roach and killing them, too. The cycle continues until the boric acid has more-or-less been exhausted or the queen herself has consumed some, killing her, which destroys the colony. Preservation In combination with its use as an insecticide, boric acid also prevents and destroys existing wet and dry rot in timbers. It can be used in combination with an [ethylene glycol] carrier to treat external wood against fungal and insect attack. It is possible to buy borate-impregnated rods for insertion into wood via drill holes where dampness and moisture is known to collect and sit. It is available in a gel form and injectable paste form for treating rot affected wood without the need to replace the timber. Concentrates of borate-based treatments can be used to prevent slime, mycelium, and algae growth, even in marine environments. Boric acid is added to salt in the curing of cattle hides, [calfskins], and [sheepskins]. This helps to control bacterial development, and helps to control insects. Lubrication Colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles of boric acid dissolved in petroleum or vegetable oil can form a remarkable lubricant on ceramic or metal surfaceswith a coefficient of sliding friction that decreases with increasing pressure to a value ranging from 0.10 to 0.02. Self-lubricating H3BO3 films result from a spontaneous chemical reaction between water molecules and B2O3 coatings in a humid environment. In bulk-scale, an inverse relationship exists between friction coefficient and Hertzian contact pressure induced by applied load. Boric acid is used to lubricate [carrom] and [novuss] boards, allowing for faster play. Nuclear power Boric acid is used in some nuclear power plants as a [neutron poison]. The boron in boric acid reduces the probability of thermal fission by absorbing some thermal neutrons. Fission chain reactions are generally driven by the probability that free neutrons will result in fission and is determined by the material and geometric properties of the reactor. Natural boron consists of approximately 20% boron-10 and 80% boron-11 isotopes. Boron-10 has a high cross-section for absorption of low energy (thermal) neutrons. By increasing boric acid concentration in the reactor coolant, the probability that a neutron will cause fission is reduced. Changes in boric acid concentration can effectively regulate the rate of fission taking place in the reactor. Boric acid is used only in [pressurized water reactors] (PWRs) whereas [boiling water reactors] (BWRs) employ control rod pattern and coolant flow for power control. BWRs use an aqueous solution of boric acid and borax or Sodium Pentaborate for an emergency shut down system. Boric acid may be dissolved in spent fuel pools used to store spent fuel elements. The concentration is high enough to keep neutron multiplication at a minimum. Boric acid was dumped over Reactor 4 of the [Chernobyl] Nuclear Power Plant after its meltdown to prevent another reaction from occurring. Agriculture Boric acid is used to treat or prevent [boron deficiencies] in plants. It is also used in preservation of grains such as rice and wheat.
