Boron is a micronutrient that is essential to plant growth. Boron is necessary for proper absorption of macronutrients and plays a key role in protecting soil health, supporting sustainable farming, and increasing both the nutrition and yield of crops.
Heat resistant, chemical resistant, scratch and shock resistant, borosilicate glass—made with silica and boron trioxide—provides strength and durability across a range of products from cell phones to solar panels.
Borates can be incorporated into frits—glassy, silica-rich materials that are used in the manufacture of glazes and enamels—to make them insoluble and help reduce glass viscosity. This improves fit, luster, durability, and chemical resistance.
