Sodium borate (NaBO₂ or related sodium borate compound) is an inorganic ceramic material belonging to the borate glass and ceramic family. It is primarily used in glass manufacturing, flux applications, and specialized ceramic coatings where its glass-forming and bonding properties provide thermal stability and chemical resistance. Engineers select sodium borate compounds for applications requiring low-density ceramic behavior, thermal insulation, or as a sintering aid in advanced ceramics, though it is less common than borosilicate glasses in structural applications.
