The product we are introducing is Boron Oxide with the CAS number 1303 - 86 - 2. It is also known as diboron trioxide. Boron Oxide is a glassy, colorless solid. It has a molar mass of 69.62 g/mol. The melting point of Boron Oxide is about 450 °C, and its boiling point is around 1860 °C. It is soluble in water, forming boric acid, and is also soluble in ethanol. Its density is approximately 2.46 g/cm³. Boron Oxide exists in two forms: a vitreous form and a crystalline form, with the vitreous form being more common in industrial applications.
Boron Oxide has a wide range of applications. In the glass industry, it is used as a flux to lower the melting point of glass, improve the mechanical and thermal properties of glass, and enhance its chemical resistance. It is also an important raw material for the production of borosilicate glass, which is known for its high thermal shock resistance and is widely used in laboratory glassware, cookware, and lighting fixtures.
In the ceramic industry, Boron Oxide is used to improve the quality of glazes and bodies. It can reduce the viscosity of the glaze, enhance the gloss and hardness of the ceramic surface, and improve the firing properties of the ceramic body.
In the metallurgical industry, Boron Oxide can be used as a deoxidizer and desulfurizer in the production of steel and other metals. It can also improve the grain refinement of metals, enhancing their strength and toughness.
In the electronics industry, Boron Oxide is used in the production of semiconductors and other electronic components. It can be used as a dopant in the semiconductor manufacturing process to control the electrical properties of semiconductors.
When using Boron Oxide in the glass industry, it should be added to the glass batch according to the specific formulation requirements. The addition amount usually ranges from a few percent to tens of percent, depending on the type of glass and the desired properties. Before adding, Boron Oxide should be thoroughly mixed with other raw materials to ensure uniform distribution in the glass batch.
In the ceramic industry, Boron Oxide can be added to the glaze or body slurry. It is recommended to dissolve Boron Oxide in water or an appropriate solvent first to facilitate uniform mixing. The addition amount also needs to be adjusted according to the specific ceramic product requirements.
In the metallurgical process, Boron Oxide can be added directly to the molten metal or in the form of a pre - mixed alloy. The addition time and method should be carefully controlled to ensure the best deoxidation and desulfurization effects.
Case 1: A glass manufacturing company was facing problems with high melting energy consumption and poor thermal shock resistance of its glass products. After adding an appropriate amount of Boron Oxide to the glass batch, the melting point of the glass was significantly reduced, resulting in a 20% reduction in energy consumption during the melting process. At the same time, the thermal shock resistance of the glass products was improved by 30%, which increased the market competitiveness of the products.
Case 2: A ceramic factory was struggling with dull - looking glazes and low - hardness ceramic products. By adding Boron Oxide to the glaze formulation, the gloss of the ceramic surface was greatly enhanced, and the hardness was increased by 15%. This led to an increase in customer satisfaction and a growth in sales volume.
