Product Description:
Boron oxide is one of the oxides of boron. It is white, glassy, and solid, also known as diboron trioxide, formula B2O3. It is almost always found as the vitreous (amorphic) form; however, it can be crystallized after extensive annealing. It is one of the most difficult compounds known to crystallize.
PreRish Tri is producing fine industrial/foundry grade Boric Acid Powder under quality supervision according the required specification.
