Borax, Technical Coarse, Fine Gran ular and Powdered Boric Acid Technical & U.S.P. Gran ular and Powdered V-Bor® Refined Pentahydrate Borax Pyrobor® Dehydrated Borax
In borosilicate glass and enamel, Borax and Boric Acid are sources of Boric Oxide required to impart durability, s t r e n g t h and resist ance to thermal shock. Borax is also used in the manufacture of soda-lime-silica glasses, for con tainers and tableware, to improve quality and facilitate melting. In glazes, the use of Borax and Boric Acid materially improves the appearance of such products as brick, coping, sewer pipe and electric conduits. Heavier, clearer and brighter glazes result and the danger of crazing is reduced.

LITHIUM Lithium Carbonate BIKALITH® Lithium Ores
In glass, lithia results in m o r e economical batch, lower density, lower thermal expansion, chemi cal resistivity, greater durability and desirable electrical proper ties. Its s t r o n g f l u x i n g p o w e r improves melting and permits a reduction in total alkali. In glass, e n a m e l s a n d glazes, lithia is useful in a p p l i c a t i o n s which take advantage of its abil ity to lower the fusion tempera tures. TRONA Lithium Carbon ate is a concentrated and refined s o u r c e of l i t h i a , m o s t useful where high purity is important. B I K A L I T H L e p i d o l i t e is a n ideal low melting source of alu mina and lithia. Petalite, Spodumene and Amblygonite ores are also available.
