Product Description：

Properties and Usage:

1. Agricultural field

Boron is an essential trace element for plant growth, which can promote the formation of cell walls, pollen development and nutrient transport. In agriculture, boron is used in the production of foliar fertilizers and boric fertilizers (such as boric acid and borax).

2. Glass and ceramic industry

Borides are important fluxes in glass manufacturing, especially in borosilicate glass, which can improve the high temperature resistance and impact resistance of glass. In ceramics, the addition of boron can improve strength and wear resistance, and is used in the production of daily ceramics and laboratory utensils.

3. Electronics and semiconductors

In the semiconductor field, boron is used as a dopant for silicon to improve electrical conductivity. At the same time, borides are used in the manufacture of high-performance thermoelectric materials and superconductors.

4. Energy and defense field

Borides are key components of solid rocket propellants and aviation fuel additives, which can increase the energy density of fuel. In addition, boron-10 isotope is used in control rods and shielding materials of nuclear reactors due to its excellent neutron absorption ability to ensure the safe and efficient use of nuclear energy.

Storage conditions: It is packed in metal barrels according to user requirements and stored in a dry, ventilated warehouse to prevent moisture, mildew and breakage.

Packing: This product is packed in 25kg cardboard drums, and it can also be customized according to customers' requirements
