As one of the micronutrients that all plants need, boron plays an important role in a number of vital processes in rice growth such as cell wall synthesis, cell membrane functions, root development, pollen tube germination, flower initiation and seed production.
The earth consists of trace amounts of more than 200 minerals that contain boron. Here are answers to commonly asked questions about boron and its health and safety effects and benefits.
Commercial and experimental applications of boron-based materials improve both anodes and electrolytes indicate substantial benefits to batteries.
Borosilicate glass is the foundation for all heat-resistant glass applications and the myriad of products they make possible—from halogen lightbulbs to liquid crystal displays.
Borates and perborates offer benefits in detergency, and although they have been incorporated into soaps and washing powders for many years, their potential has not been fully understood or realized.
In glazes, boric oxide reduces melting temperature and improves glaze/body fit. It enhances glaze appearance and can improve chemical and mechanical durability.
Borates are well established and widely used in the manufacture of industrial fluids such as antifreezes, lubricants, brake fluids, metalworking fluids, water treatment chemicals and fuel additives.
Borates are used in the production of steel and non-ferrous metals, alloys, rare earth magnets, amorphous metals, welding fluxes and plating compounds.
Starch is a natural polymeric product and is found in almost every plant. Today, the principal sources of most commercial starches are maize, potato, tapioca and wheat.
