What is Zinc Borate?
Properties of Zinc Borate
Generally known as a smoke suppressant, Zinc Borate is a type of chemical substance with the formula xZnO.yB2O3zH2O. It contains a large amount of boron. Like many substances, its solubility in water is low. It also has a high dehydration temperature. Both are known as its most important properties. It is an inorganic compound. Its melting point is known to be 980°C. While it has a white crystalline structure, it is in an amorphous powder form.

Due to its high dehydration temperature, it is preferred for coating plastics that will be used at high temperatures.
Zinc Borate Products and Their Usage Areas
Zinc borates, with their smoke-suppressing property, are also preferred as flame retardant and fireproofing additives. It is an ideal method of use for the outer parts of fire-resistant cables, fabrics, and electronic goods. It is also frequently preferred in industrial areas. Compared to other flame retardant products on the market, zinc borates have a much more affordable and effective structure, which is why their preference rate is quite high. We are even seeing an increase in their use in combination with other flame retardant elements recently. Our country is rich in both above-ground and underground resources. From this, we can say that Turkey has very high-quality boron reserves and that its products are produced. Its usage areas are also quite extensive.
