BR5748 Boron (B) Granule

Bor-Granulate Description

Borgranulate are small, granular particles of the element Boron. They are utilized in various industrial, agricultural, and scientific applications because of the unique properties of Boron. Boron is a very hard material, which makes the granulate durable and resistant to mechanical wear.

Boron is chemically inert in its elemental form at room temperature, but it can react with other elements at elevated temperatures. In many applications, Boron granulate can be used in the production of Boron compounds such as Boron carbide, Boron nitride, and Boron trioxide.
