Borax has a wide variety of uses. It is a component of many detergents, cosmetics, and enamel glazes. It is also used to make buffer solutions in biochemistry, as a fire retardant, as an anti-fungal compound for fiberglass, as a flux in metallurgy, as neutron-capture shields for radioactive sources, a texturing agent in cooking, and as a precursor for other boron compounds.
Borax not only has the characteristics of heat resistance, water resistance, and acid resistance but also has a strong dissolving ability. Borax turns white and expands after heating, and becomes a transparent glass ball, in which metal oxide can be dissolved and the original color of metal can be restored. This is the famous borax ball reaction. Borax can be used in the manufacture of electric K containers, in various glass products, and as a glaze in the ceramic industry. It is used as antifreeze and anticoagulant in the mining and metallurgical industry, and as electrolyte additive and welding agent in the nonferrous metal industry. In addition, it is used as a preservative, herbicide, soil bactericide, and boride.
Other uses for Borax:
Ingredient in enamel glazes.
Component of glass, pottery, and ceramics.
Borax can be used as an additive in ceramic slips and glazes to improve fit on wet, greenware, and bisque.

Usage: Mainly used for the glass and porcelain enamel industry. In the glass industry, it can enhance transparency and heat-resistant property. In porcelain enamel products, it can make enamel not easy to fall off and with luster. It is also widely used in optics glass, glass fiber, colored metal as a jointing agent, cohering agent for jewelry, printing, and dyeing, detergent, refined gold, cosmetics, pesticide, fertilizer, borax soap, antiseptic, antifreeze, and in pharmaceuticals as disinfectors, etc. It's also one of the basic raw materials for making another boric compound.
