Application
Boric anhydride, known for its noncombustible and colorless, semi-transparent form, serves as a versatile component in various industrial applications. Its primary purpose is to act as a fluxing agent in the production of enamels and glass, improving fluidity and assisting in the bonding of materials. It also finds use as a catalyst in organic reactions, aiding in chemical synthesis and transformations. In the ceramics industry, boric anhydride is a key ingredient in hot isostatic pressing, where it is combined with boron nitride to serve as a bonding agent. Additionally, its properties make it valuable in the preparation of fluxes, integral for processes in metallurgy and silicate analysis. Despite its moderate reactivity with water to form boric acid, a compound with antiseptic properties, boric anhydride remains stable and noncombustible, rendering it a crucial material across a wide range of scientific and industrial fields.
