CAS 12045-60-2
:Boron oxide (B2O)
Description:
Boron oxide, specifically the compound with the formula B2O3, is a white, amorphous solid that is commonly encountered in various forms, including glassy and crystalline states. It is primarily used in the production of borosilicate glass, ceramics, and as a flux in metallurgy. The substance exhibits a low melting point and is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. Chemically, boron oxide is a Lewis acid, capable of reacting with bases to form borates. It is also known for its ability to form glassy structures when melted, which contributes to its utility in glassmaking. In terms of safety, while boron oxide is generally considered to have low toxicity, it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon exposure. Its CAS number, 12045-60-2, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks. Overall, boron oxide plays a significant role in various industrial applications due to its unique chemical properties and versatility.
