Boron-based flame retardant. It is a powder of sodium polyborate and has a high effectiveness against cellulose. Currently being evaluated for application to chemical products as a non-halogen and non-phosphorus option.

• Chemicals

This is a high-concentration aqueous solution of sodium polyborate, primarily made from boric acid. Through a special manufacturing process, boric acid, which previously did not dissolve in water, is now dissolved at high concentrations. It contains no organic solvents and is composed solely of sodium polyborate and water. It exhibits a high flame retardant effect on cellulose and was originally developed as a flame retardant solution for the production of non-combustible wood. In recent years, evaluations have begun for various materials, not only cellulose-based materials but also including resins. Additionally, it demonstrates excellent effectiveness in wood preservation and termite prevention, and due to its extremely low toxicity, it is significantly easier to handle compared to existing termite agents.
