Orthoboric acid(CAS#10043-35-3)
In industrial applications, orthoboric acid offers a lot of practical value. It is a key additive in glass manufacturing, and the appropriate amount of addition can effectively improve the heat resistance, chemical stability and other properties of glass, so that the manufactured glass can be widely used in laboratory utensils, optical lenses and architectural glass curtain walls and other fields, to meet the strict requirements for glass quality in different scenarios. In the process of ceramic production, Orthoboric acid is involved as a flux to reduce the sintering temperature of the ceramic body, optimize the firing process, promote the ceramic quality to be denser, the color is brighter, and the artistic and practical value of ceramic products is enhanced.
In agriculture, orthoboric acid also plays an important role. It is a common boron fertilizer raw material, boron is very important for the growth and development of plants, can promote pollen germination, pollen tube elongation, improve the seed setting rate of crops, fruit trees, vegetables and other crops have a significant effect on increasing production and income, and ensure the stability and harvest of agricultural production.
In medicine, orthoboric acid also has certain applications. It has mild antimicrobial properties and is often used in some topical medicines or antiseptic preparations to help clean wounds, prevent infection, and create a good environment for wound healing.
