Boric Acid Powder

Boric Acid for Glass, Ceramics, Agriculture and Industry

Boric Acid, also called orthoboric acid, is a white powder and a key source of boron. Boric acid is a weak acid that dissolves in water. Industry uses it to make glass, ceramics, fertilisers and flame retardants.

We stock Etiborik Asit boric acid powder produced by Eti Maden, the Turkish state boron producer. It is made in Türkiye and packed in 25 kg bags. Wisdo Merchants Chemical Division delivers it across Kenya and East Africa from Industrial Area, Nairobi.

Applications of Boric Acid

Glass, Fibreglass and Ceramics

Glass makers use boron to produce heat-resistant borosilicate glass and glass fibre insulation. Ceramic makers use it in glazes and enamels.

Agriculture

Fertiliser blenders use boric acid to correct boron deficiency in crops. Apply it only at recommended rates, because too much boron harms plants. Browse our agricultural chemicals.

Flame Retardants, Wood and Laboratories

It is used in flame retardants for cellulose insulation and in wood preservation. Laboratories use it in buffer solutions. See our laboratory reagents. For another boron source, compare our sodium tetraborate decahydrate.

Safety and Handling

The bag shows the health hazard pictogram (GHS08).

• Reproductive toxicity: Boric acid may damage fertility or the unborn child. Avoid exposure, especially for pregnant workers, and follow workplace controls.
• Dust: Avoid breathing the dust. Use dust extraction and a suitable mask.
• Protective equipment: Wear gloves and goggles.
• Keep away from food and animal feed.

Always read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store bags in a dry, covered place on pallets. Keep them sealed, because moisture causes caking. Store it away from food, feed and strong reducing agents.
