Calcium borate (Ca₂B₂O₅) is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of calcium, boron, and oxygen, belonging to the borate ceramic family. It is primarily used in specialty glass and ceramic formulations, particularly in borosilicate glass production, thermal insulation materials, and advanced ceramics where boron's glass-forming properties enhance durability and chemical resistance. Engineers select calcium borate systems for applications requiring thermal shock resistance, low thermal expansion, and improved mechanical stability compared to pure oxide ceramics, making it valuable in high-temperature industrial environments and composite reinforcement applications.
