Technical Description

• Synonymy : ORTHO-BORIC ACID
• Formula : H₃BO₃
• Molecular Weight : 61, 84
• Crystallization : It crystallizes in tryclinium-pinacoidal scales
• Fusion Point : 170^o C
• Relative Density : 1, 435 to 15^oC
• Dissolving Heat : 5400 cal/mol at 18^o C
• Effects Of Heat : In closed environments, it melts at 171^o C. In open environments, heat above 100^oC causes a gradual water loss, going successively from meta-boric acid (HBO₂), and tetra-boric acid (H₂B₄O₇), to ultimately reach boric anhydride (B₂o₃), which melts at 450^o C.
• Stability : It is stable at room temperature and is either volatized by water vapor or dragged by it without decomposing.

Universal Ferbor G10 is an extract form of Boron rich Ulexite having Boron content min. 10%. It is found universally ideal Boron Rich compound as Agro fertilizer and used with other Mix Fertilizer as its Granular Size, Bulk Density and Surface Area are closely matching other fertilizers. This provides uniform distribution as plant nutrients. The product Universal Ferbor G10 is having relative advantages over other conventional Boron rich compounds due to rare combination of Sodium and Calcium In the form of Borates. Sodium Borate is highly soluble and Calcium Borate is slowly soluble as it dissolves very slow, thus it takes extended time to reach to the plant through the soil and thus most of the Borate is made available to the plant & maximum dissolution of Boron is taking place to the extent of 90% of Boron. Thus, leaching to the soil is minimum as compared to other Boron compounds. The Sodium Borate content rectifies the Acidity of The Soil and Calcium Borate content corrects the pH of the soil to some extent. Boron 10% is agronomical preferred in low CEC soils because of plant physiological uptake. Boron deficient plant manifests various symptoms such as stunted growth, Clustering or Browning of leaves, poor pollination, hollow Stems or Brittle leaves with ultimate fewer yields of seeds, grains or fruits. Ferbor 10 supplements primary function of cell wall formation, migration of Sugar, retention of pollens & flowers, sturdy growth of routes & leaves for rejuvenated vegetation in all type of plants. Calcium gives stunted strength in cell wall membrane functions & mechanical strength of tissue, where in Magnesium component plays a major role for plant growth and photosynthesis. The fundamental blocks of proteins are combination of numerous Amino Acids in which Sulfur is a component for N-fixation by root and conversion of Nitrate in to organicN by nodule bacteria. Sulfur plays a pivotal role.Thus, all associated elements of B, Ca, Mg & S provides a balance nutrients. Crops IndicatedAlfalfa, Cotton, Potatoes, Soybeans, All Clovers, Turnips, Corn, Tomatoes, Wheat, Asparagus, Sugar Beets, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Celery, Broccoli, Apple, Pears, and Plums, Palms, Lettuce, Onions, Peaches, Peanuts, Citrus, Cauliflower, Sunflower, Tomato, Cabbage, Beans, Strawberry, Almond, Apricot, Perennial crops such as Orchards, Vine yards and floriculture for varieties of flowers. Soil ConditionsCoarse Textured, Cool, Wet Organic, and Soils with High pH and Low CEC Levels. Rates will vary dependent on CEC + or - 10.

Zircon is a hard, glassy mineral used for the manufacture of ceramics and refractories and in a range of other high-tech industrial and chemical applications. It is used extensively for ceramic glazes - most commonly seen in kitchen tiles, dinnerware, bathroom products and decorative ceramics. Industrial ceramics made using zircon are used for heat and abrasion resistance. Some industrial ceramics are referred to as refractories - materials that retain their physical shape and chemical composition when subjected to very high temperatures. With a melting point of around 18, 000C, these refractories are used as linings to protect furnaces and kilns for smelting metals and for the manufacture of chemicals. Resistance to corrosion and erosion makes zircon products ideal for use in the chemical industry and in desalination plants. One of the early discoveries for zircon use was for the manufacture of phosphates for kidney dialysis. Zircon compounds have a very low toxicity and are now increasingly preferred in the manufacture of some foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and medicines. It is even used in toothpaste to prevent tooth decay Zircon is a key raw material used in the production of opacifiers, glazes and frits, floor and decorative tiles, sanitary ware, glass and steel refractories, metal castings and specialized glass. Consumption of zircon products in the manufacture of faceplates for TV monitors and computer screens continues to increase, particularly in developing countries. The increased use of zirconium chemicals and zirconia in various applications continues with China being in the forefront of new production facilities to service these industries. Recently announced construction of additional nuclear power stations in China and South Korea will create continued demand for zirconium metal in this much-specialized market. The current driving force in zircon demand is in both China and India where the various consuming industries have expanded across the board, increasing usage to the extent that global demand now exceeds global production capacity. A rundown of stock levels both in producer and consumer hands has created a severe shortage of material to the extent that some industries have been required to close. This imbalance will continue to exist until the arrival of new production sources, currently planned to come on line in 2006. It is predominantly used as a glaze material and as an opacifier to provide shine and brightness for crockery, sanitary ware, Ceramic tiles, other decorative ceramic products and is also widely used in television and computer screens. Resistance to corrosion and erosion makes zircon products ideal for use in the chemical industry and in desalination plants. Uses : The Industrial zircon ceramics are extensively used as linings to protect furnaces and kilns for smelting of metals because they can retain their physical and chemical composition even when subjected to high temperatures. Zircon application is mainly confined to mold faces and cores, which directly come in contact with molten metal. Zircon sand helps in minimizing the penetration of mold by the molten metal and thus ensures that the casting gets a good surface finish.
