Boron

Sodium borates and boric acid: high-performance crystallization

Sodium borates (in pentahydrate or decahydrate form) and boric acid are products derived from mining, used in numerous industrial applications: glass, ceramics, detergents, agrochemicals, etc.

FE offers crystallization solutions tailored to these specific salts, enabling the production of high-quality products with controlled crystal size and uniform particle size distribution.
