Uses of barium metaborate

Name: Barium metaborate
White rhombic crystalline powder
Slightly soluble in water, easily soluble in hydrochloric acid
It has the properties of rust prevention, powder resistance, high temperature resistance, fire prevention and mildew prevention. Modified barium metaborate is a new non-toxic anti-rust pigment used in primer and topcoat in coating industry, and is also used in ceramics, papermaking, rubber, textiles and plastics industries.
Barium metaborate is a kind of white functional pigment, which has anti-rust, anti-mildew, anti-pollution, anti-powder, prevent discoloration, flame retardant and other functions in the paint, is a multi-functional non-toxic anti-rust pigment, used in the manufacture of primer and topcoat anti-rust coatings. Barium metaborate can also be used in ceramics, paper, rubber and plastics industries. Barium metaborate exists in two polyforms: high temperature phase (α‑BaB2O4) and low temperature phase (β‑BaB2O4). Low temperature phase barium metaborate single crystal (β-BAB2O4) is a nonlinear optical crystal with comprehensive excellent cesium carbonate properties, with a wide transmittance band (190nm ~ 3500nm) and phase matching range (409.6nm ~ 3500nm), large nonlinear optical coefficient, and high light damage resistance threshold.

Scope of use of barium metaborate
Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, barium metaborate has been widely used in many fields.
In the field of electronics industry, barium metaborate is an important nonlinear optical material and a raw material for piezoelectric ceramics. It has a high optical transmittance and refractive index and can be used to manufacture high-performance optical devices. At the same time, barium metaborate as the raw material of piezoelectric ceramics, can be prepared with excellent piezoelectric properties of ceramic materials, widely used in sensors, acoustic devices and other fields.
In the ceramic industry, barium metaborate also plays an important role. It can be used as an additive to ceramic glazes and pigments to improve the gloss and color brightness of ceramic products. At the same time, barium metaborate can also improve the sintering properties of ceramic materials, increase the density and strength of ceramic products.
Barium metaborate also has a wide range of applications in the field of glass manufacturing. It can be used as a flux for glass, reduce the melting temperature of glass, and improve the production efficiency of glass. At the same time, barium metaborate can also be used as a stabilizer for glass to prevent crystallization and loss of permeability during the heating process of glass to ensure the quality of glass.
In addition to the above fields, barium metaborate also plays an important role in optics, metallurgy, chemical industry and other fields. For example, in the field of optics, barium metaborate can be used to make optical glass and fiber optics materials; In the field of metallurgy, it can be used as a flux in the smelting process; In the chemical industry, barium metaborate can be used as catalyst and filler.
It should be noted that although barium metaborate has a wide range of applications, it needs to pay attention to its safety during use. Since barium metaborate has certain toxicity, protective equipment should be worn during operation to avoid direct contact and inhalation. At the same time, the storage of barium metaborate should be placed in a dry, ventilated place, avoid humidity and direct sunlight.
As an important inorganic compound, barium metaborate has been widely used in electronic industry, ceramic industry, glass manufacturing, optics, metallurgy, chemical industry and other fields. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous development of industry, the application prospect of barium metaborate will be broader.
