Why Buy Boric Acid (H3BO3) Online from UK Chemical Suppliers, ReAgent Chemicals?

ReAgent is a leading UK supplier of Boric Acid (H3BO3), a white acid substance available in both powdered and crystallised solid forms.   As far as acids go, Boric Acid (H3BO3) is relatively weak and as such is less reactive tan other strong mineral acids such as Sulphuric Acid or Hydrochloric Acid.  This makes Boric Acid suitable for a number of applications such as use as an antiseptic or as an insecticide. 

Many people are familiar with Boric Acid as one of its most common uses is to eradicate ants, cock roaches and other unwanted visitors.  Whilst Boric Acid (H3BO3) is known to kill a range of creepy crawlies, the same quantities are relatively harmless to humans.  However, as with the safe handling of any other chemical products, great care should be taken never to ingest the substance.

As a leading UK supplier of both powder and crystals, we are ideally placed to handle all your Boric Acid (H3BO3) enquiries, be they for industry, laboratory or domestic use such as controlling cock roach or ant infestations.  For analytical purposes, Boric Acid has a number of uses.   It can be used to create buffer solutions, which in turn can be used to control and measure pH levels.  This is particularly important in analytical laboratory work and we are a leading supplier of Boric Acid to laboratories.

Boric Acid also has some slightly more unusual uses.  For example, when Boric Acid is dissolved in Ethyl Alcohol, also known as Ethanol, then set alight, a green flame appears. This is very popular amongst fire prop enthusiasts, such as poi and staff spinners.  Some film producers also like to use Boric Acid for the same special effects on a film set.
