  • Applications

    Chemical name: Aluminum borate; CAS number: 61279-70-7. Aluminum borate is used in high-temperature ceramics and refractories due to its thermal stability, as a flame-retardant additive for polymers and coatings to improve heat resistance; as a filler or reinforcement for plastics and composites to enhance dimensional stability and thermal performance; in specialty glass-ceramics with low thermal expansion for electronics and protective coatings; and as a precursor or functional component in the fabrication of aluminum borate–based ceramics and surface coatings.
