Application:
Boric acid has a wide range of applications, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Chemical industry: Boric acid is used in the chemical industry to manufacture various boron compounds, such as borax, borates, etc. These compounds have important applications in industries such as ceramics, glass, metallurgy, and textiles.
2. Agriculture: Boric acid can be used as a plant growth regulator to promote plant growth and development. It can also enhance plant stress resistance, improve crop yield and quality.
3. Pharmaceutical field: Boric acid has various effects in medicine, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and prevention of osteoporosis. It can be used to treat diseases such as dermatitis, eye infections, arthritis, and can also be used for disinfection and preservation. In addition, boric acid can also be used to treat mild, small-scale acute eczema, acute dermatitis, pustules, bedsores, and other diseases.
4. Glass manufacturing: Boric acid is used in the glass industry to improve the heat resistance, transparency, and mechanical strength of glass products, shorten melting time, and increase production efficiency.
5. Other applications: Boric acid is also used in flame retardants, imaging agents, electrophoretic coatings, and other fields, such as flame retardant treatment of plastics, rubber, fibers, and television tube manufacturing.
