· ZnB12O24H10

ZnB12O24H10 is a hydrated zinc borate ceramic compound belonging to the borate oxide family, characterized by a crystal structure containing zinc cations and polyborate anion groups with bound water molecules. This material is primarily used in specialized coatings, fire-retardant formulations, and glass compositions where boron oxide's thermal stability and zinc's reinforcing effects are leveraged; zinc borates are valued in the coatings and polymer industries as flame-retardant additives and in ceramic glazes for their ability to lower melting temperatures and improve melt fluidity. The specific hydrated phase (decahydrate) offers processing advantages in wet-chemistry synthesis routes and finds niche applications where controlled hydration state influences sintering behavior or chemical reactivity.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
