Boric Acid Powder

Boric Acid H3BO3 or B(OH)3 is a weak, inorganic, water-soluble Lewis acid often found as colorless crystals or a white powder, commonly used as an antiseptic, insecticide and flame retardant. It is widely used in household pest control, pharmaceutical products, industrial manufacturing and to manage nuclear reactor neutron absorption.

Applications of Boric Acid Powder:

• Pest Control: It acts as an insecticide against cockroaches, ants, termites and silverfish by disrupting their digestive systems.

• Industrial: It is used in the production of fiberglass, flat panel displays and as a component in glazes and enamels. It acts as a lubricant on surfaces like carrom boards.

• Preservation: It is used to prevent wood decay and sometimes used as a preservative in specific products.

• Household Cleaning: It helps remove mold and mildew. It is used as a deodorizer for shoes, carpets and refrigerators.

• Glass & Ceramics Manufacturing: It is used in producing heat-resistant glass, fiberglass and ceramics.

• Flame Retardant: It is added to materials like wood, textiles and cellulose insulation to reduce flammability.
