Ca4 B8 O16
ceramic· Ca4 B8 O16
Ca₄B₈O₁₆ is a calcium borate ceramic compound belonging to the borate ceramic family, which combines calcium oxide with boric oxide in a crystalline structure. This material is primarily of research and industrial interest in specialized applications requiring thermal stability, chemical durability, and low thermal conductivity. Calcium borates are used in glass production, refractory applications, and emerging advanced ceramic composites, where they offer advantages in high-temperature environments and as additives for controlling melting behavior and structural properties.
