Zinc borate is an inorganic compound that has major applications as a flame retardant in various industrial applications. It finds application in plastics, rubber, and cellulose fibers because it can extinguish flames and reduce smoke production on combustion. It forms a protective layer to minimize the release of toxic gases. It is used as an additive in building up fire-resistant panels and insulation materials. Additionally, it finds utility in paints, adhesives, and pigments as fire and corrosion inhibitors. Zinc borate is applied to plastics for electrical insulators to enhance safety plus reliability; it also works as a fungicide for plastics and wood products. Also, it is found in animal feed due to its status as a trace mineral supplement while finding use in nano powders for improving frictional properties within lubricating oils.

The procurement of zinc borate is influenced by several key factors. Its use as an efficient flame retardant in industries has made a noticeable contribution to its demand. The capability to control flames and smoke emissions in various materials apparently improves the value of this product. The low degree of toxicity and environmentally friendly aspects further make it attractive as industries look for safer alternatives in the manufacture of consumer products. In agriculture, its use as a fungicide and micronutrient supplement is another factor that has expanded its market presence. Overall, the industrial zinc borate procurement is influenced by its efficiency as a flame retardant in various industries, its low toxicity and eco-friendly profile, its role as a fungicide and micronutrient in agriculture, and ongoing research into innovative applications in nanotechnology and advanced materials.

Raw Material for Zinc borate Production

According to the Zinc borate manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Zinc borate include zinc oxide-boric acid.

Manufacturing Process of Zinc borate

The extensive Zinc borate production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Zinc Oxide and Boric Acid: The industrial manufacturing process of Zinc borate consists of several steps. First, zinc oxide and boric acid are mixed in a reactor under controlled conditions at high temperatures. The reaction takes place, forming a zinc borate. After that, the mixture is cooled, forming crystals of zinc borate. The crystallized product is filtered and dried. Finally, zinc borate is packaged for distribution.

Zinc borate is a white, crystalline, or amorphous powder. It has a molecular formula B2O6Zn3 and a molecular weight of 313.8 g/mol. It has a melting point of 980°C. Its density is 3.64 g/cm³. It is slightly soluble in water and soluble in dilute acids. It has low toxicity. It exhibits dehydration at 290–415°C. It is an effective flame retardant, acting in both the solid and gas phases. It shows strong synergistic effects with other flame retardants. Its properties can vary based on the zinc-to-boron ratio and water content. All these physical and chemical properties contribute to its usability in various applications.
