Product Overview
Boric Acid Crystals 99.5% Extra Pure are a high-grade, water-soluble compound widely used in laboratory settings for their consistent purity and stability. This extra pure variant ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for applications requiring precision, such as buffer preparation, pH regulation, and flame-retardant formulations. The crystalline form dissolves readily in water, providing a clear solution without residue, while its non-volatile nature ensures long-term stability under standard lab conditions. The 99.5% purity level meets stringent quality standards, reducing variability in experimental outcomes. Whether used as a mild antiseptic, a reagent in chemical synthesis, or a component in analytical procedures, these boric acid crystals deliver reliable performance. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, preserving its efficacy until use. Suitable for both routine and specialized lab work, this boric acid variant is a staple in research, educational, and industrial laboratories across India.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Boric Acid Crystals 99.5% Extra Pure?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging, boric acid crystals retain their purity and effectiveness for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this boric acid be used for preparing borate buffer solutions?
Yes, the 99.5% extra pure grade is highly suitable for preparing borate buffers due to its consistent dissolution and minimal ionic interference.
3. Is this product compatible with glassware and standard lab equipment?
Boric acid is non-corrosive to glass and most common lab materials, including stainless steel and polypropylene, under normal usage conditions.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling these crystals?
While boric acid is low in acute toxicity, it is recommended to wear gloves and safety goggles to avoid skin or eye irritation, especially when handling large quantities.
5. Are there any alternatives to boric acid for pH buffering applications?
Alternatives like sodium phosphate or citrate buffers can be used, but boric acid is often preferred for its stability in specific pH ranges (8.0–10.0) and compatibility with biological systems.
