Description

Ammonium Borate is an inorganic salt formed from ammonia and boric acid, offering a versatile source of both ammonium and borate ions. This compound is valued for its role as a flame retardant, a corrosion inhibitor, and a precursor in the synthesis of other boron-containing materials. It serves critical functions in industries such as textile manufacturing, wood treatment, ceramics, and metallurgy, where its properties are leveraged for safety and material enhancement.

Application

• As a flame retardant additive in textiles, plastics, and wood products.
• As a corrosion inhibitor in cooling water systems and metalworking fluids.
• In the production of specialty glazes, enamels, and ceramic frits.
• As a nutrient source in specific agricultural and horticultural formulations.
• In electroplating baths and surface treatment processes for metals.
• As a chemical intermediate for synthesizing other boron compounds.
• In laboratory settings for analytical chemistry and research.
