Boric Oxide 60 Mesh

Boric oxide (boron trioxide), supplied in a 60 mesh grade, is a boron compound used primarily in glass and ceramics manufacturing. It is commonly employed as a fluxing agent in borosilicate glass and fiberglass production, where it lowers melting temperature, improves thermal shock resistance, and increases chemical durability of the finished glass. Additionally, it serves as a raw material in ceramic glazes and enamels, contributing gloss and hardness to fired coatings. Boric oxide is also utilized as a flux in metal finishing operations, particularly soldering and brazing, where it helps remove oxides and promote proper metal bonding. Furthermore, it finds applications as a raw material in the manufacture of other borate compounds, including boric acid and borate fertilizers, used across chemical manufacturing.
