Borates are an important ingredient in both insulation fiberglass - which represents the largest single use of borates worldwide - and textile fiberglass, used in everything from circuit boards to surfboards. In both products, borates act as a powerful flux and lower glass batch melting temperatures.
They also control the relationship between temperature, viscosity and surface tension to create optimal glass fiberization. The end result is strong fibers that are biosoluble, and resistant to water and chemical attack. Insulation fiberglass works by trapping air within its mesh of fibers to prevent heat loss. Borates in the glass fibers also absorb more infrared radiation, adding to their insulation performance.
