USAGE AREAS

USAGE IN THE FORMULATION OF PLANT NUTRITION PRODUCTS

Boric acid 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 boric acid formulations. You can contact our company for detailed information and technical support regarding the use of boric acid in the formulation of plant nutrition products.

AGRICULTURE

Boric acid is used to treat or prevent boron deficiencies in plants. Boric acid can be used instead of pesticides, which is containing highly toxic chemicals to kill insects. In this way, more specific pesticide production methods can be applied. It acts as a desiccant on the exoskeletons of insects and provides dehydration of insects. It is also used in the control of wild unwanted plants.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

Boric acid is used in glass fiber production, leather production, photography chemicals, metal coating and cosmetic industry.
