Borates

Borates are naturally found in many borate and borosilicate minerals such as borax, boracite, ulexite and colemanite as well as in seawater and plants, including almost all fruits. As boron is essential to plant growth, it is commonly used in fertilisers, however borates are also used in high tech applications, such as the heat-resistant glass for smartphones, materials for renewable energy, in wood protection, fiberglass insulation, detergents, ceramics and even pesticides.
