White powdery crystals or scaly glossy crystals on the tri-oblique axis, with a smooth feel and no odor.Soluble in water, alcohol, glycerin, ethers and essential oils, the aqueous solution is weakly acidic.It is widely used in the glass (optical glass, acid-resistant glass, heat-resistant glass, glass fiber for insulating materials) industry, which can improve the heat resistance and transparency of glass products, improve the mechanical strength, and shorten the melting time.

Storage Matters
It should be stored in a dry and clean warehouse, not stacked in the open air, and should be protected from rain or moisture.It should be transported in boxcars, cabins or covered cars, and should not be mixed with wet items and colored raw materials. The means of transport must be dry and clean.
Uses: Used as industrial raw materials for glass, enamel, porcelain, medicine, etc.
Boric acid is a pure, multifunctional boron oxide-containing raw material.Like borax, boric acid is an extremely versatile industrial boride.
The theoretical composition of boric acid is boron oxide and water.It is a white crystal that can be made into granules or powder.Both forms are stable under normal conditions, have fluidity, can be easily transported by air flow or mechanically, and the solution is slightly acidic.
