Nuclear energy today is safer than ever, in no small part due to the beneficial properties of boron for containing nuclear reactions.
Oil is a staple of our energy supply, and its numerous other industrial uses mean that it will be in demand for some time to come. Using borates in oilfield chemical applications helps make oil production more effective, more efficient, and cleaner.
Borates’ have improved the formulation of starch-based adhesives for centuries—and are still doing so today.
From char promotion to flame suppression, borates offer protection in construction, transportation, and industrial applications.
