· Ca2 B4 H8 O12

Ca₂B₄H₈O₁₂ is a hydrated calcium borate ceramic compound, belonging to the family of boron-containing ceramics that combine calcium, boron, hydrogen, and oxygen. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, where it functions as a precursor or component in boron-based ceramics, refractories, and glass formulations. Calcium borates are valued for their thermal stability, low density, and potential for high-temperature applications, making them candidates for aerospace thermal management, advanced refractory linings, and chemical-resistant coatings where conventional silicate ceramics may underperform.
