Calcium borate (Ca₃B₂O₆) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the borate family, characterized by a crystal structure containing calcium and borate anions. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for specialized applications requiring boron-containing ceramics, including refractory systems, glass-ceramic composites, and high-temperature insulation. Its borate chemistry makes it of interest in materials where thermal stability, chemical durability, or specific dielectric properties are needed, though industrial adoption remains limited compared to more established borosilicate glasses and alumina-based ceramics.
