Product Application

Detergents & Cleaners :

Detergent Builder : Used as a synergistic additive in laundry powders, soaps, and dishwashing detergents to enhance cleaning, soften water, and buffer pH.

Household Cleaner : Ingredient in multi-purpose cleaning powders, carpet cleaners, and mildew removers.

Glass & Ceramics Industry :

Glass Manufacturing : A key raw material for borosilicate glass (heat-resistant glass), fiberglass, optical glass, and enamel glazes. It lowers melting temperature and improves chemical and thermal stability.

Ceramic Glazes : Functions as a flux, reducing the melting temperature of glazes for a smoother, glossier finish.

Agriculture :

Micronutrient Fertilizer : An essential source of the micronutrient Boron ​ for plants, used to correct boron deficiency in crops (e.g., rapeseed, fruits).

Herbicide & Wood Preservative : Used in non-selective herbicides and for wood preservation.

Metallurgy & Welding :

Flux : Used in metal welding, brazing, and steelmaking to remove surface oxides.
