Physical description & handling notes

• Zinc borate appears as a white powder of variable composition. (typically 45% ZnO, 34% B2O3 and 20% H2O). Slightly soluble in water. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. It is used as a fungus and mildew inhibitor, to fire proof textiles, and for other uses.
• White odorless solid; Powder (ceramic grade) = 99.95% pure; Commercial grade = about 50% zinc oxide and 30% boric anhydride; [HSDB] White powder; [MSDSonline]
• White, amorphous powder
• White granular
• None
• Soluble in dilute acids; slightly soluble in water
