Liquid Borates

Borates have many industrial applications, in most of these applications the borate powders are dissolved in water before introducing into the process. Hence, a liquid form of borate is always preferred over a powder - Liquids are easy to meter, pump and dissolve or disperse and do not suffer from dustiness and caking.

At Semfill, we specialise in producing tailor-made liquid borates to suite your process whether it is aqueous or amine-based solutions or suspensions of different pHs ranging from boric acid to sodium metaborate.

Here are some of the applications which benefit from using borates in liquid form:
