Zinc borate (Zn₂BO₄) is an inorganic ceramic compound combining zinc and borate chemistry, typically studied as a functional ceramic material for specialized applications requiring chemical stability and thermal properties. While not widely commercialized as a bulk engineering material, zinc borates are primarily investigated and used in flame-retardant coatings, glass manufacturing, and ceramic glazes, where boron's glass-forming properties enhance durability and thermal resistance. The zinc borate family is valued in materials research for its potential in thermal barrier coatings, advanced refractories, and applications demanding corrosion resistance in chemically aggressive environments.
