Increase yield and strength in glass and ceramics
Boric oxide, a pure anhydrous form, is ideal where boric acid is required without metals. A powerful tool in the production of specialty glasses, ceramics, enamels, and welding/soldering fluxes.
Benefits
- Ideal for scenarios that require B2O3 without the presence of metals or when water would be detrimental
- Water soluble but at a much slower rate than boric acid
- Reduces melting temperatures
- Increases thermal resistance and mechanical strength
- Enhances aqueous and chemical durability
- Excellent solvent for metallic oxides at high temperatures
