Products Description of Orthoboric Acid CAS#10043-35-3

Orthoboric acid, commonly known as boric acid (H₃BO₃), is an inorganic crystalline compound formed by dissolving boron trioxide in water. Among boric acids, it has the highest water content and the greatest stability. It appears as white, shiny powdery or flaky crystals, is odorless, slightly bitter, and feels smooth to the touch. Boric acid is soluble in water, ethanol,glycerin, ethers, and essential oils, and its aqueous solution is weakly acidic with typical Lewis acid behavior.

When heated, orthoboric acid gradually dehydrates: forming metaboric acid at 70–100 °C, pyroboric acid at 150–160 °C, and boron oxide (B₂O₃) at about 300 °C. Its solubility in water increases markedly with temperature. The presence of hydrochloric, citric, or tartaric acid enhances its solubility, allowing purification by recrystallization.


Product Application of Orthoboric Acid CAS#10043-35-3

Orthoboric acid is widely used in molecular biology research, including DNA and RNA purification, preparation of biological buffers, and as a reagent in biochemical experiments. It is also applied in plant science to evaluate the effects of boron toxicity on crop growth and antioxidant systems, such as in maize root studies. In biomedical research, boric acid is used to investigate boron absorption and distribution in animal tissues, including studies on uptake in different regions of the brain after injection.

FAQ

1. Why Supply Chain Transparency Matters in Global Chemical Procurement
Chemical buyers evaluate more than price and delivery time. Clear specifications, matching batch documents, consistent packaging information, and traceable logistics all affect customs clearance, warehouse inspection, and production use.
When selecting a supplier, buyers should review how the company confirms specifications, manages documents, handles changes, and responds to problems. Transparent processes help reduce order risks and improve long-term procurement reliability.


2. Seven Essential Details for a Chemical Product Inquiry
A product name alone is often insufficient for an accurate quotation. Buyers should provide the product name and CAS number, key specifications or purity, final application, required quantity, packaging requirements, destination, and expected delivery time or preferred Incoterms.
If COA, SDS, TDS, special labels, certifications, or registration documents are required, these details should also be included in the initial inquiry. Complete information helps suppliers confirm product, logistics, and documentation conditions more efficiently.


3. What Are the Differences Between COA, SDS, and TDS?
A COA is a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis showing test items, required ranges, and actual results. It is mainly used for quality verification and incoming inspection.
An SDS provides safety, handling, storage, emergency, and transportation information. A TDS describes typical product properties, technical parameters, and application guidance. Buyers should confirm the required document version, language, and applicable standards before placing an order.


4. Key Conditions to Confirm Before International Chemical Transportation
Before shipment, confirm the product identity, physical form, transport classification, and applicable regulations. An SDS is an important reference, but the final shipping arrangement must also meet regulatory and carrier requirements.
Packaging, sealing, moisture protection, palletizing, labels, ports, documents, Incoterms, and transport schedules should be clearly confirmed. Early verification helps prevent delays caused by carrier restrictions or incomplete documentation.


5. How to Evaluate Chemical Product Sample Test Results
Sample evaluation should consider both product compliance and application performance. Laboratory results do not always guarantee the same performance in every formulation or production process.
Before testing, record the sample batch, COA, storage condition, and sampling method. During application tests, keep consistent records of formulation, dosage, process conditions, and results. After approval, reconfirm the formal order specifications, inspection method, packaging, and batch documents.
