Boric Acid

Original price was: $9,800.00.Current price is: $8,900.00.

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.

Description

 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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
