Because of the low surface area--to--volume ratio and the large proportion of heartwood in large bridge timbers, pressure treatments with dissolved
borate will be unlikely to result in sufficient treatment penetration and retentions.
In industry sectors, halogen-free zinc
borates as flame retardants are interested.
Since his discovery of the ore and his subsequent efforts on behalf of the arts, it is interesting to note that Gerstley
borate continues to be used by potters.
Under real service conditions, Dickinson and Murphy (6) found sufficient
borate loading in windows after 23 years exposure to prevent decay, despite considerable paint deterioration.
Offers Firebrake ZB line of flame retardants, which are forms of zinc
borate with multifunctional fire-retardant applications for plastics and rubber.
APPLICATION: Partial
borate autocausticizing is an easy way for a recausticizing-limited mill to increase its capacity without new equipment.
ALSI), which is celebrating its 25-year anniversary in manufacturing high-quality milled log home component packages, has the latest CAD technology available to custom design, precut,
borate pressure treat, and deliver log home building materials.
They included metal oxides, sulfates,
borates, carbonates and nitrates.
As the US detergents market moves away from chlorine-based bleaches in the future, Ros kill expects considerable growth in demand or
borates in this application.
However, the occurrence of
borate minerals in the English Zechstein evaporites has been known for many years (Stewart, 1965), and the presence of nodules of boracite and hilgardite in the sylvinite ore at the Boulby mine has been recognized since mining began in the early 1970's (Milne, 1978).
The expanded plant is designed to increase capacity and to use RTM's new technology, Modified Direct Dissolving of Kernite Ore (MDDK), a process which allows sodium
borate and boric acid production to continue until end of mine life.
Borates are one of the components used as a buffer and carrier, but the low levels are not designed to protect against Formosan subterranean termites without inclusion of carbon-based insecticides in the formulation.
