It is used as an antiseptic, disinfectant and antifungal agent for foot diseases, excessive sweating of the feet, diaper rash. It is contraindicated to use as an antiseptic in case of impaired renal function, in infants, as well as in women during pregnancy and lactation due to high toxicity. Do not apply the drug to large surfaces of the body, and also use it for washing cavities. Do not use in acute inflammatory diseases of skin areas covered with hair.
Application:
- production of glass fibers and glass fabrics (increases the fluxing ability of the mixture, reduces the melting temperature of the glass mixture and increases the efficiency of fiber formation as a result of melt viscosity reduction Boron regulates the interdependence of temperature, viscosity and surface tension, ensuring optimal fiber formation Boron also reduces the tendency to devitrification, increases fiber strength and resistance to moisture;
- production of medical, heat-resistant, electrovacuum , optical and aluminosilicate glass; borosilicate glass (increases resistance to thermal shocks and chemical attacks, scratch resistance and shock resistance);
- production of flat screens (as a source of boron in flat panel glass);< /p>
-production of ceramic paints for porcelain and faience, boron-zinc glazes (improves the quality of the glaze, simplifies the production process, providing good adhesion between the glaze and the surface to be coated, and also increases the chemical and mechanical resistance);
- production of granulated boron superphosphate (an essential element for plant growth, yield and seed development , promotes the transfer of water and nutrients in plants);
- production of hard alloys;
- non-ferrous metallurgy, electroforming; (reduces the melting point, reduces the destruction of the refractory material in furnaces, increases the purity (as a fluxing agent), increases strength, provides protection against secondary oxidation of the weld surface during soldering);
- medicine and perfumery (ideal emulsifier for waxes and paraffins, which are used in the production of creams, as a bactericidal agent);
- nuclear energy (added to cooling water to eliminate increased radioactivity, to minimize the effects of radiation, concrete with a high concentration of boron is also used, with neutron examination, and is also used to monitor the progress of nuclear reactions);
- in the woodworking industry (as a means for preserving wood, also to reduce the combustibility of materials containing cellulose);
- in the production of detergents (as a cleaning and bleaching agent, allows you to adjust the alkalinity of soap and synthetic detergents, balance the soda the neighing of active oxygen in them softens the water, reduces the time and temperature during washing, and also prevents corrosion of the metal parts of washing machines).
