USAGE AREAS

USAGE IN THE FORMULATION OF PLANT NUTRITION PRODUCTS

Borax is used as a boron trace element source in the formulation of powder and liquid plant nutrition products. Due to its low solubility in water, monoethanolamine is used as a solvent in liquid borax formulations. You can contact our company for detailed information and technical support regarding the use of borax in the formulation of plant nutrition products.

AGRICULTURE

While borax is used as a raw material in the formulation of plant nutrition products, it is also used as a direct fertilizer in agriculture. It can be applied to the plant, from soil or leaves, by dripping and spraying methods. Also it provides an increase the yield of products with boron deficiency.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

It is used in the production of glass where heat resistance, surface hardness and durability are required. It is used in the ceramic industry to increase the fluidity of the coating materials on the surfaces of ceramics and to reduce their density and saturation temperature. It is used as an additive to pool chemicals for pH control.
