  • Applications

    Phenylmercury borate is a specialty organomercury compound primarily used as an intermediate and biocidal additive in niche industrial applications. In coatings and inks, it may function as a biocidal additive to control microbial growth and extend product lifetimes; in polymer and plastics processing, the compound has been evaluated as a stabilizer or catalyst in certain polymerization steps and formulations. It has also been used historically as a preservative for wood and textiles in specific applications; additionally, it may serve as an intermediate for preparing other organomercury derivatives and as a reagent in analytical chemistry related to mercury.
