Applications of Boric Acid (H₃BO₃)

• Water treatment: H₃BO₃ is used to stabilize pH, limit bacteria, algae and moss in industrial water treatment systems, swimming pools and wastewater. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, it helps maintain water quality and protect pipes from corrosion.
• Ceramic & glass production: Boric acid helps lower the melting point of ceramic glazes, increasing mechanical strength and heat resistance. In borosilicate glass, it increases chemical resistance, thermal shock resistance, and is widely used in laboratory equipment and insulating glass.
• Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals: H₃BO₃ is an antibacterial and antifungal preservative in cosmetics such as creams, shampoos, and cleansers. In medicine, it is used in eye wash solutions, skin creams, and antiseptics for minor wounds.
• Agriculture & Fertilizer: Boric Acid provides trace element Boron (Bo), which helps plants grow healthily, promotes flowering, fruit set, and reduces fruit drop. It is especially necessary for fruit trees and industrial crops such as coffee, pepper, tea, and rice.
• Paints & Fire Retardants: H₃BO₃ has the ability to inhibit fire and reduce ignition in paint, fabric, and fireproof wood. It also helps paint to have better adhesion, increase durability and anti-oxidation, prolonging the life of the paint surface.
• Pesticides & wood preservatives: H₃BO₃ is used to kill ants, cockroaches, and termites without harming the environment. In the wood industry, it helps prevent termites and mold, and protects wood from the effects of humidity and weather.

How to mix H₃BO₃ solution

Standard recipe:

• Dissolve 10 – 30g H₃BO₃ / 1L warm water, then stir well until the solution is completely dissolved.
• Use immediately or store in a sealed bottle.
• Note when mixing, do not use hard water as it may cause precipitation, avoid direct contact if skin is sensitive and wear gloves & goggles when handling.
