Boron nitride is an advanced material with special properties. Produced from refined borates, boron nitride is in demand across industries such as electronics and aerospace. Explore its uses, benefits, and the role of refined borates in its production.
Hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) help manufacturers make lighter products without compromising strength. Learn more about HGMs, including applications and borates’ role in their production.
Discover how boron improves melting behavior in ceramic glazes and helps manufacturers overcome challenges posed by faster firing cycles and evolving regulations.
Boric oxide is a vital component in vitreous enameling—improving manufacturing efficiency and enhancing the durability of enameled products big and small.
Metal recycling and recovery are two sides of the same coin. Recycling
is reprocessing scrap or waste metal into new products. Recovery is the process that extracts purified metal from scrap. Recycling and recovery of metals can come from scrap or from slag that is left over from a primary smelting operation.
Treating cellulose insulation with borates ensures excellent fire-retardant performance. Learn how borates became widely adopted and why finding the right product, concentration, and partner matters.
Your customers deserve long-lasting wood products. That means protecting your wood products for years. There are three facets involved in getting it right: A properly concentrated solution, the right treatment, and working with an experienced partner.
From metallurgy to glassmaking, borates can enhance production environments where refractories play an important role. Borates fight corrosion, act as sintering agents, and help offset harmful emissions.
Paper manufacturers facing increased costs and tighter environmental regulations are leveraging a patented technology, partial borate autocausticizing, to improve efficiency and sustainability.
Glass is an essential product for modern living, and glass manufacturers are working to build a sustainable path for the industry’s future.
