Calcium tetraborate (CaB4O7) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the borate family, commonly known as colemanite when found as a natural mineral. It is primarily used in glass and ceramic formulations where its boron content improves thermal stability, chemical durability, and workability, making it a key raw material in the ceramics and glass industries rather than a standalone engineering material.
