Applications
Aerospace, Ceramic Material, Fuel Source, Nuclear
A black–brown crystalline powder used primarily for its thermal properties.
Corrosion inhibition: Used in antifreeze, brake fluids, hydraulic systems, and environments requiring corrosion protection for ferrous materials.
Abrasive: Provides a rugged, highly abrasive surface ideal for high-speed cutting and similar operations, supported by strong thermal stability.
Photoelectric applications: Used in photography, tanning, electrolytic condensation, fuel cells, and various photoelectric technologies.
Biocide: Borates act as broad-spectrum pest-control agents through physical disruption.
Ignition: Effective as an ignition enhancer for charcoal briquettes, fuels, torches, and many related systems.
