Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 07/10/2017 --Boric acid is a weak and monobasic form of boron, majorly used as a flame retardant, and in antiseptic and pest control applications. It consists of colorless form of crystals or white powder, which dissolves easily in water.
The global demand for insulation materials drives the boric acid market with increase in demand for residential and commercial applications. In addition, rise in building and construction owing to increase in macro-economic factors such as increase in per capita income has triggered the growth of the boric acid market. Furthermore, the rise in demand for boric acid in fiberglass insulation has majorly boosted the market growth, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years. The growing demand for borate and boron products in the oil and gas sector as a viscosity and Ph modifier is likely to offer the boric acid market with growth opportunities. Furthermore, increase in demand for consumer electronics and glazed ceramics are projected to boost the demand for boric acid. However, the use of boric acid in personal care items is restricted under the European regulations, which have classified it under the category of a carcinogenic compound and this is likely to hinder the market growth. However, the increase in demand as an energy efficient compound coupled with the demand for borosilicate glass in cookware and laboratory applications are likely to create potential growth avenues for the market.
