To serve it’s downstream industries, Redstar Chem has been involved in Boron products since 2018. Over these years, we have grown into one of the most noted agents of Boric acid in China.
Boron is an important chemical element and widely used in many industries like ceramic, glass, electronics, agriculture and etc… It plays a crucial role in glass production, particularly in the formulation of borosilicate glass.
Let’s see how it actually works.
1.Boric acid lowers the melting temperature of silica, making it easier to process. This helps reduce energy costs during production.
2.When added to silica, boric acid modifies the glass network. It forms borate groups that help stabilize the structure, enhancing the glass’s thermal and chemical resistance.
3.The incorporation of boron improves the overall durability and strength of the glass. Borosilicate glass, for example, is known for its resistance to thermal shock, making it ideal for laboratory glassware and cookware.
4.Boric acid can also help maintain clarity and reduce the likelihood of crystallization, ensuring that the glass remains clear and visually appealing
