U.S. Borax technical expert Allen Zheng’s recently published article in
Glass International magazine highlights the importance of using circular raw materials for sustainable glassmaking. Read more about his findings.
The electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing rapid growth, which increases the need for high-quality boron and lithium sources. Discover how these materials improve the performance of EV batteries and other important components.
In various borosilicate glassmaking, anhydrous borates (boron species without crystal water) such as
Dehybor bring multifaceted benefits of value-in-use (VIU). One of the most intuitive benefits is reducing glass manufacturers’ energy use.
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.
