Calcium borate, with the CAS number 13701 - 64 - 9, is a chemical compound that combines calcium and boron. It is generally available as a white powder, which is insoluble in water. The molecular formula of calcium borate can vary depending on the specific type, but common forms include CaB₂O₄ and Ca₃(BO₃)₂.
Our factory - supplied calcium borate comes with high purity, ensuring consistent quality and performance. It is produced under strict quality control standards to meet various industrial requirements. The particle size of our product can be customized according to customer needs, usually ranging from fine powder to coarse particles for different applications.
1. Flame Retardant: Calcium borate is widely used as a flame - retardant additive in plastics, rubber, and textiles. It can reduce the flammability of materials by releasing water and forming a protective layer on the surface during combustion, thereby preventing the spread of fire.
2. Ceramics and Glass: In the ceramics and glass industries, calcium borate is used as a fluxing agent. It can lower the melting point of raw materials, improve the fluidity of the melt, and enhance the mechanical and chemical properties of the final products, such as hardness, transparency, and resistance to corrosion.
3. Fertilizer: Calcium and boron are essential nutrients for plant growth. Calcium borate can be used as a fertilizer to provide both calcium and boron to the soil, promoting root development, improving fruit quality, and increasing crop yields.
1. Flame Retardant Application: When using calcium borate as a flame retardant in plastics or rubber, it should be thoroughly mixed with the polymer matrix. The recommended dosage is usually between 5% - 20% by weight, depending on the specific requirements of the application. Adequate mixing equipment, such as high - speed mixers or extruders, should be used to ensure uniform dispersion.
2. Ceramics and Glass Production: In ceramics and glass manufacturing, calcium borate is added to the raw material batch before melting. The amount added depends on the composition of the glass or ceramic and the desired properties. It is important to ensure that the calcium borate is evenly distributed in the batch to achieve consistent results.
3. Fertilizer Use: For agricultural applications, calcium borate can be applied directly to the soil or mixed with other fertilizers. The recommended application rate is based on soil tests and crop requirements. It can be spread evenly over the soil surface and then incorporated into the topsoil.
1. Flame Retardant in Plastic Products: A plastic manufacturer was facing strict fire - safety regulations for their electronic enclosures. They added our calcium borate to their polycarbonate resin at a dosage of 15%. After testing, the plastic enclosures achieved a significant reduction in flammability, passing the UL 94 V - 0 standard. This not only met the regulatory requirements but also enhanced the safety of their products, leading to an increase in customer satisfaction and market competitiveness.
2. Glass Production: A glass factory was looking to improve the quality of their borosilicate glass. By adding an appropriate amount of our calcium borate to the glass batch, they were able to lower the melting temperature by 50°C, reducing energy consumption during the melting process. The resulting glass had better chemical resistance and thermal stability, which was highly valued by their customers in the laboratory glassware market.
3. Agricultural Application: A fruit farm was experiencing poor fruit quality and low yields due to calcium and boron deficiencies in the soil. They applied our calcium borate fertilizer at a rate of 50 kg per hectare. Over the next growing season, the fruit trees showed improved growth, with stronger branches and healthier leaves. The fruits were larger, had better color, and a longer shelf - life, resulting in a significant increase in the farm's income.
