Zinc tetraborate (ZnB₄O₇) is an inorganic ceramic compound composed of zinc oxide and boric oxide, belonging to the borate ceramic family. It is primarily used as a glass additive, flux material, and component in glazes and enamels for thermal and chemical stability enhancement. The material is valued in ceramic applications for its ability to lower melting temperatures and improve durability, making it particularly relevant in industries where cost-effective thermal processing and corrosion resistance are required.
