Boric Acid – H₃BO₃ | CAS 10043-35-3
Product Overview
Boric acid is a weak, monobasic Lewis acid of boron, typically appearing as a white crystalline powder or granules. It is widely used as a pH buffer, mild antiseptic, and precursor to other boron compounds. In laboratory and industrial environments, boric acid serves as a reliable reagent, flame retardant, preservative, and component in buffer systems. It dissolves in water to form a slightly acidic solution and is known for its stability and low toxicity at controlled levels.
