Sodium Borate is mainly used in the manufacturing high quality glass, optical glass, glaze of pottery and porcelain, glaze of enamel, detergent, bleaching agent, cleaning agents, flame retardant, rust inhibitor and caking agent.It could be also used as the supporter of the lubricant used in metal wiredrawing, the stabilizer and skeleton former in refractory material, the wraping flux in metallurgy,
the set retarder of cement and concrete, the buffer of PH value in water system and emulsifier of paraffin.

Uses: used as the basic raw material of boron compounds, also used in glass, enamel, non-ferrous metal welding, fertilizer, atomic energy industry and electronic tubes, etc.
Uses: Mainly used in capacitor manufacturing, disinfection and antiseptic drugs; used to prepare processing fluid for exposed photosensitive materials.
Application: Mainly used in glass and enamel industry. In glass, it can enhance the transmittance of ultraviolet rays, improve the transparency and heat resistance of glass. In enamel products, the enamel is not easy to fall off to make it shiny. In special optical glass, glass fiber, non-ferrous metal solder, jewelry binder, printing and dyeing, washing (silk and wool, etc.), gold refining, cosmetics, pesticides, fertilizers, borax soap, preservatives, antifreeze and pharmaceuticals Disinfectants are also widely used. It is also one of the basic raw materials for the preparation of other boron compounds. Almost all boron-containing compounds can be obtained from borax. They are widely used in metallurgy, machinery, light industry, textile, electronics, chemical industry and mili-tary industries.
