Boron Oxide (Boric Oxide, Anhydrous Boric Acid, DiBoron Trioxide)

Boron Oxide (Glassy, Anhydrous), also known as Diboron Trioxide (B₂O₃), is the oxide of boron with the formula B₂O₃. It is a colorless transparent solid, almost always glassy (amorphous), which can be crystallized only with great difficulty. It is also called boric oxide or boria. It has many important industrial applications, chiefly in ceramics as a flux for glazes and enamels and in the production of glasses.
