Product Overview

What are Borates?

Borates are the salts and esters of boric acid, mined mainly as the minerals tincal, colemanite and ulexite and refined into a family of commercial products. The most widely traded grades are borax decahydrate, borax pentahydrate, anhydrous borax, boric acid and the refined mineral concentrates.

Glass and ceramics account for the largest share of demand. Boron oxide lowers melt viscosity and thermal expansion, which is why borates are essential in borosilicate glass, textile and insulation fibreglass, enamels, glazes and frits.

Agriculture, detergents and metallurgy use borates as a boron micronutrient, a bleach stabiliser and buffer, and as a flux for brazing, soldering and metal refining. Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies technical, agricultural and refined grades to industrial users across the UAE and wider GCC.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Borates UAE

What are Borates used for?

Borates are used in borosilicate glass and fibreglass, ceramic glazes and frits, boron micronutrient fertilisers, detergents and cleaning products, metallurgical fluxes, wood preservation and flame retardants.

What is the CAS number of Borax?

Borax decahydrate is CAS 1303-96-4. Borax pentahydrate is CAS 12179-04-3, anhydrous borax is CAS 1330-43-4 and boric acid is CAS 10043-35-3.

What is the difference between borax decahydrate and pentahydrate?

Pentahydrate carries less water of crystallisation, so it delivers a higher B₂O₃ content per tonne (around 48% against 36.5%). That makes it more economical to ship and faster to melt, while decahydrate dissolves more readily at ambient temperature.

Why are borates used in glass manufacturing?

Boron oxide lowers melt viscosity and thermal expansion and improves chemical durability, which gives borosilicate glass its thermal shock resistance and lets fibreglass be drawn into fine filaments.

Who supplies Borates in the UAE?

Chelora Chemicals UAE is a dedicated Borates supplier serving all seven UAE emirates. We stock borax decahydrate, pentahydrate, anhydrous borax and boric acid in 25 kg bags and jumbo bags, serving glass, ceramics, agriculture and metals industries across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.

Do you deliver Borates to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah?

Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE delivers Borates to all seven UAE emirates — Dubai (including Jebel Ali FZ, Al Quoz and DIP), Abu Dhabi (Musaffah, ICAD, KIZAD), Sharjah (SAIF Zone, Hamriyah FZ), Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — as well as to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and other GCC countries.

Are Borates hazardous?

Borax and boric acid are classified in the EU as toxic for reproduction (Category 1B, H360FD) and appear on the REACH Candidate List. They are not flammable or oxidising and are not regulated for transport, but dust should be controlled and suitable PPE worn. Always consult the batch-specific SDS.

What packaging is available for Borates?

Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies Borates in 25 kg lined bags (standard plant use), 1 MT jumbo bags (high-volume users), palletised container loads (export parcels) and truck delivery from our UAE warehouse.

Can Borates be exported from the UAE?

Yes. Chelora Chemicals UAE regularly exports Borates to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and wider markets across Asia, Africa and Europe, leveraging our proximity to Jebel Ali Port. We handle export logistics including freight forwarding, customs documentation, certificate of origin (COO) and safety data sheets in Arabic and English.
