Substituting borax pentahydrate with anhydrous borax in enamel glaze production can improve the adhesiveness between iron substrate and glaze.
Borosilicate glass is the foundation for all heat-resistant glass applications and the myriad of products they make possible—from halogen lightbulbs to liquid crystal displays.
Boric oxide, added as borates, is important in glass technology because it brings combinations of properties that would be either technically impossible or prohibitively expensive to achieve in other ways.
In glazes, boric oxide reduces melting temperature and improves glaze/body fit. It enhances glaze appearance and can improve chemical and mechanical durability.
Borates are used in the production of steel and non-ferrous metals, alloys, rare earth magnets, amorphous metals, welding fluxes and plating compounds.
Dehybor is a product resulting from the dehydration and fusion of borax. It is a hard, glassy material, granular in texture.

Dehybor anhydrous borax is used in the gold refining industry as part of flux formulations to dissolve metal oxides, as well as being used as a flux in gold assaying.
Most steel slags form hard rock-like materials upon cooling. But some slags, principally those from the production of stainless steel, form dusty powders. Dusty slags can be prevented with addition of borates.
