Description

Ascharite is a naturally occurring mineral form of magnesium borate, primarily composed of magnesium borate hydroxide. This industrial mineral is valued for its role as a significant source of boron, a critical element in numerous manufacturing processes. It is essential for industries requiring boron compounds for the production of specialized glass, ceramics, and flame retardants. Ascharite CAS NO 12447-04-0 serves as a key raw material in the synthesis of various boron derivatives used across advanced material sectors.

Application

As a primary raw material for the extraction and production of boric acid and borax.
In the manufacture of borosilicate glass and other specialty glasses requiring thermal shock resistance.
As a fluxing agent and additive in the ceramics and enamel industries.
As a component in fire retardant formulations for plastics, textiles, and wood.
In the production of magnesium-based fertilizers and soil amendments.
As a starting material for synthesizing various inorganic boron chemicals.
In metallurgical processes as a slag conditioner and flux.

Quality Control

Our Ascharite is sourced and processed to meet stringent industrial-grade specifications. Quality is ensured through rigorous in-process controls and final batch testing for key parameters such as boron oxide (B2O3) content, magnesium oxide (MgO) content, and impurity levels. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific grade's characteristics are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep the container tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Separate from strong acids.
