Boric Acid is an inorganic weak acid supplied as a white crystalline powder for buffer preparation, pH control, borate-based laboratory work, and general technical use.

In aqueous systems it behaves as a Lewis acid and forms borate species that are useful in buffered systems, antiseptic and cleaning formulations, glass and ceramic processing, and flame-retardant or crosslinking support roles where boron chemistry is required.

This grade is suitable for technical and formulation work where a boric acid raw material with clear identity, predictable handling, and standard general-chemical safety documentation is required.
