Industrial Uses

1. Agrochemicals

  • Pesticide Formulation: Sodium fluoborate is occasionally used in some formulations for insecticides and rodenticides due to its ability to interfere with the metabolism of pests. It can be part of pest control agents for crops or buildings.

2. Paints & Coatings

  • Fluxing Agent: Sodium fluoborate is used in the manufacture of paints and coatings, particularly as a fluxing agent in the production of certain pigments. It can help in the preparation of metal surfaces before coating to improve adhesion and corrosion resistance.

3. Sealants & Adhesives

  • Corrosion Resistance: Sodium fluoborate is sometimes used in the formulation of sealants and adhesives to impart corrosion resistance, particularly for use in automotive and industrial applications where exposure to moisture and chemicals is common.

4. Metal Treatment

  • Fluxing Agent: In metal treatment processes such as brazing, soldering, and welding, Sodium fluoborate acts as a fluxing agent. It helps to clean metal surfaces and promote better bonding by removing oxides and other impurities.
  • Heat Treatment: It is used in heat treatment processes to prevent oxidation of metal surfaces and improve the finish of metal products.
