Used as a flux in metallurgy to remove oxides from metal surfaces during welding and soldering.

Key component in the production of borosilicate glass, known for its high thermal shock resistance and chemical durability.

Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of elemental boron and other boron-containing compounds.

Employed in ceramics to improve strength, thermal stability, and resistance to thermal shock.

Utilized in nuclear reactors as a neutron absorber due to its ability to capture neutrons effectively.

Added to enamels and glazes to enhance adhesion, hardness, and corrosion resistance.

Functions as a catalyst or catalyst support in certain organic reactions and industrial processes.
