Reliable testing is the foundation of successful product development. To ensure your manufacturing formulations perform as expected, you need both the right borate and optimal concentration.
That’s why U.S. Borax offers a free borate sample program. This service is a low-risk way to trial small quantities of U.S. Borax refined borate products and verify compatibility before scaling to a production environment.

What is the borate sample program?
Our borate sample program is designed for teams testing borates in lab-scale trials, research, and product development.
Current and new customers, industrial and agricultural researchers, academic labs, and chemical manufacturers worldwide can participate.
Depending on your needs, you can request 0.5, 1, or 2 kg samples of any U.S. Borax product. If you need to run several trials to find the correct borate for your formulation, we may be able to provide multiple samples.
Samples of our refined borate fertilizers for agricultural applications and field trials are available via this form.
Why should you request a borate sample?
Borate samples are helpful when you want to:
- Replace an input with borates in an existing formulation
- Evaluate different borate products
- Test small quantities without using production stock
- Optimize formulations
- Conduct research for new applications
U.S. Borax samples can save time spent on formulation development while also making it easier and faster to introduce borates into your production processes.
