· B(HO)3

B(HO)₃, or boric acid, is an inorganic ceramic compound with weak acidic and hygroscopic properties; it functions as a glass-forming agent, flux, and hardening additive rather than as a structural ceramic in its raw form. In industry, boric acid is primarily used in glass manufacturing (borosilicate glasses), ceramic glazes, enamel coatings, and as a component in specialized lubricants and heat-resistant compounds; engineers select it for applications requiring thermal stability, improved glass workability, or chemical resistance rather than for load-bearing structural applications.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
