Description

Boric Acid Gel CAS NO 41685-84-1 is a specialized, semi-solid formulation of boric acid designed for controlled and sustained release applications. This gel form provides superior handling characteristics and targeted delivery compared to its powdered counterpart, making it a critical component in advanced industrial and pharmaceutical processes. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty chemical sectors who require a stable, high-purity boron source with precise rheological properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Gels and Ointments: Used as a mild antiseptic and buffering agent in topical dermatological preparations.
• Personal Care Products: Serves as a pH adjuster, viscosity modifier, and preservative booster in creams, lotions, and eye care solutions.
• Industrial Lubricants and Greases: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor and high-temperature additive in specialty lubricating formulations.
• Adhesives and Sealants: Functions as a flame retardant and cross-linking agent in silicone-based and other polymer systems.
• Laboratory Reagent: Employed in molecular biology and biochemistry for preparing buffer solutions and gel electrophoresis media.
• Wood Treatment and Preservation: Provides fungicidal and insecticidal properties in gel-based wood preservatives for targeted application.

Quality Control

Our Boric Acid Gel is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, viscosity, pH, and boron content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided to guarantee compliance with relevant standards, including potential USP-NF or pharmaceutical-grade requirements for critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept sealed in a dry environment to prevent water absorption and changes in gel consistency.
