Physical and Chemical Properties | Irregular (or diamond-shaped) white or yellowish powder. Density 2.8g/cm3, refractive index 1.58, oil absorption 45g/100g, melting point 980 ℃. Insoluble in water, ethanol, butyl n-alcohol, benzene, acetone, soluble in hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, dimethyl sulfoxide. Good thermal stability. It is not easy to absorb moisture. Non-toxic. In addition to the zinc salt with the composition of 2ZnO · 3B2O3 · 3.5H2O, there are also zinc salts with the composition of 2ZnO · 3B2O3 · 7H2O, ZnO · B2O3 · 2H2O and 3ZnO · 2B2O30 · 5H2O, depending on the preparation method. All zinc borate has a lower density than other varieties. Easy to disperse. |
Use | Used for waterproofing, flame retardancy, ceramic glaze, coating mold prevention, and sterilization of fabrics. |
1. Zinc oxide method
Put a certain proportion of zinc oxide and boric acid into a crystallizer pre placed with boric acid, and react for 5-7 hours at 80-100 ℃. Then filter, wash, dry, crush, and prepare the finished zinc borate product.
2. Zinc hydroxide method
In the presence of water and other organic solvents, zinc hydroxide and boric acid are added to the reactor. React at 100 ℃ for 6-10 hours. The solid obtained after filtration is washed with hot water and dried to obtain the finished zinc borate product.
It cannot be stored and transported together with acid products. Store in a cool and dry warehouse. Protect from sunlight and rain during transportation.
