· JVASP-21247· Zn4B6O13

Zn₄B₆O₁₃ is a zinc borate ceramic compound belonging to the family of borate ceramics, which are known for their thermal stability and glass-forming properties. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for applications requiring thermal insulation, flame retardancy, and electrical insulation, where zinc borates are valued for their low thermal conductivity and ability to suppress ignition in polymer composites. It represents an alternative to traditional borosilicate ceramics where zinc coordination and borate network chemistry offer advantages in specific high-temperature or fire-safety-critical environments.
