Calcium borate (Ca₂BO₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the borate family, which combines calcium oxide with boron oxide in a stable crystalline structure. This material is primarily used in specialized applications including glass manufacture, thermal insulation products, and as a flux or additive in metallurgical processes where its high-temperature stability and chemical inertness are valued. Calcium borates are notable in refractory and advanced ceramic applications for their ability to withstand elevated temperatures while maintaining structural integrity, making them attractive alternatives to traditional silicate-based ceramics in demanding thermal environments.
