Boric Acid is a high-purity, white crystalline compound widely valued across industrial and agricultural sectors. With a minimum of 56% Boron Trioxide (B₂O₃), it plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of products in glass, ceramic, steel, and petroleum industries. Its stability, non-volatility, and excellent water solubility make it an ideal ingredient in various chemical formulations, contributing to improved durability, thermal resistance, and chemical integrity in end products.
In agriculture, Boric Acid serves as a vital micronutrient fertilizer, supplying essential boron required for plant growth and development. It helps in improving root strength, flower and fruit formation, and nutrient transport. Due to its high solubility and low sulfate content, it is easily absorbed by plants through soil application or foliar spray. This versatility, combined with its chemical purity and environmental safety, makes Boric Acid a preferred choice for both industrial and agricultural applications.
