Boric acid is a weak, water-soluble acid that occurs naturally in some minerals, volcanic waters, and hot springs. It is a white, odorless, and crystalline powder that is often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, and in various industrial applications. Boric acid is also commonly used in households as an eyewash, as a preservative for food and cosmetics, and as an ingredient in some laundry and cleaning products. It is considered a safe and effective substance when used properly, but can be toxic in high doses.
Boric acid Uses
Insecticide:
Boric acid is a natural and effective insecticide that can be used to control pests such as ants, cockroaches, termites, and silverfish.
Antiseptic:
Boric acid can be used as an antiseptic to treat minor cuts, burns, and fungal infections such as athlete’s foot and yeast infections.
Flame retardant:
Boric acid is often used as a flame retardant in textiles, plastics, and other materials.
Preservative:
Boric acid can be used as a preservative in food and cosmetics to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Industrial applications:
Boric acid is used in the production of fiberglass, ceramics, and other industrial materials.
Laundry and cleaning:
Boric acid can be used as a laundry booster and in cleaning products to remove stains and odors.
Eyewash:
Boric acid can be used as an eyewash to soothe irritated eyes.

Personal Protection:
- Respiratory Protection: Use a dust mask (NIOSH-approved N95 or higher) if handling powder to avoid inhalation.
- Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles to prevent irritation.
- Skin Protection: Use gloves (nitrile or rubber) and protective clothing to minimize skin contact.
- General Hygiene: Avoid ingestion, inhalation, or prolonged exposure. Wash hands after handling.
Handling & Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong bases and alkali metals.
- Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
- Avoid generating dust; use local exhaust ventilation if handling large quantities.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke near the chemical.
Spill Management:
- Sweep up spills (avoid creating dust) and dispose of in a sealed container.
- Wash contaminated surfaces with water.
Inhalation:
- Move to fresh air immediately.
- If breathing difficulties occur, seek medical attention.
Skin Contact:
- Remove contaminated clothing.
- Wash affected area with soap and water.
- If irritation persists, seek medical help.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally.
- Seek medical attention if irritation continues.
Ingestion:
- Do NOT induce vomiting.
- Rinse mouth and drink plenty of water.
- Seek immediate medical attention (boric acid can be toxic if ingested in large amounts).
Fire Hazard:
- Boric acid is non-flammable, but at high temperatures, it decomposes, releasing boron oxide fumes.
Extinguishing Media:
- Use water spray, dry chemical, CO₂, or foam for surrounding fires.
Protection for Firefighters:
- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear to avoid inhaling decomposition products.
- Special Notes: Cool containers exposed to fire with water to prevent rupture
