Product & Usage:^[1]
a) Boric Acid Technical Grade Granular:
IBCL is first in the country to be awarded BIS certification for manufacturing Boric Acid Technical Grade. This is used in fused products i.e. glass, glass fibre ceramics, fritss, glazed, porcelain enamels. It is also used as fluxes and metallurgical operations like welding, brazing, paste fluxes and soldering fluxes, etc. and as a catalyst in cyclohexane and hydrocarbon oxidation.
b) Boric Acid Technical Grade Powder:
This is used in metallurgical operations like welding and brazing, fire retardant, and as catalysts in cyclohexane and hydrocarbon oxidation. Itis also used as condensers, dishwashing products, lubricants, in nuclear applications and in agricultural as micronutrients in thefertilizers.
c) Boric Acid IP Grade:
Company is the only Indian manufacturer of IP grade Boric Acid with an FDA license. IP Grade is used in eye wash, ointments, foot powder, shampoo, skin cream, mouthwash and in veterinary formulations.
Disodium Octaborare Tetra hydrate (D.O.T.):
IBCL has a Fertilizer licence for manufacturing Disodium OCTA-borate Tetra-hydrate, which is an important value-added Agriculture Micro nutrient Fertilizer. It was developed using in-house technology and is used in manufacturing solution or suspension fertilizers, formulations of high-performance liquids containing Boron or with combination of other nutrients for spraying on soil or through irrigation, and for formulation
of soluble micronutrients powders for foliar spraying. It is also used as fire retardant in cellulosic materials such as cotton batting,
paper, fabric, wooden composites etc.,
in fire retardant treatments for clothing,
drapes or curtains, rugs, ironing board
covers, firefighter clothing and fire retarded
paper products, in water-based systems
for corrosion inhibition, lubrication, thermal oxidative stabilization. It is used to manufacture water treatment chemicals and as an additive to reduce abrasiveness and to control viscosity in cleaning products such hand cleaners, polishes, and waxes, cleaning compounds.
**d) Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate: **
This is used in manufacturing lubricant greases, dyestuff and speciality resins. It is also used in batteries of electric
vehicles
