Boric Acid

Boric acid is used to make textile fiberglass for tire cord, to reinforce certain plastics and tapes, and for home curtains. It is also a fire retardant in cellulose insulation, a raw material for sodium borohydride (a paper bleaching agent), and a raw material for boron fibers used for high-strength composites. It is also an environmentally friendly preservative for wood, a pesticide, and a corrosion inhibitor.
