Optibor® BQ is a new battery-quality boric acid product designed to meet the industry’s special purity and particle size needs. Discover how it can improve your batteries’ safety and performance.
Before borosilicate glass, many industries struggled with the durability of glass for their application. Discover how the development of borosilicate glass and U.S. Borax’s support shaped modern glassmaking.
Learn more about a recently published peer-reviewed paper from a U.S. Borax researcher on the benefits of using boron compounds in lithium batteries.
U.S. Borax is a valued research and technical partner for leading companies in the glass industry as they pursue aggressive goals for reducing carbon emissions.
Anhydrous boron is a more concentrated form of boron—containing 1.4 times more B
2O
3. The additional value that anhydrous products bring goes beyond the concentration difference of B
2O
3.
U.S. Borax partners in research with Linde to demonstrate how borosilicate glass producers can benefit from a new technology solution that significantly reduces glass manufacturing’s carbon footprint—and provides opportunities for increased profitability.
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly viewed as a viable, sustainable alternative to steel and concrete in construction. U.S. Borax is helping researchers improve CLT’s resistance to fire, moisture, and insect damage to meet international building codes.
The borate you use affects your end product or process. U.S. Borax development specialist Allen Zheng explains how to evaluate borate quality for the best possible results.
Few engineering challenges are as tricky as those that were met during the construction of the Channel Tunnel between England and France. Fortunately, the properties of borosilicate glass provided a solution to one of the most important issues: Lighting.
Borates are essential in glassmaking for increasing thermal shock resistance, durability, and appearance of finished products. The development of borosilicate glass has had long history.
