	What is Boric Acid
		Pharmaceuticals: boric acid is a mild antiseptic as well as a mild acid that inhibits the growth of microorganisms on the external surfaces of the body.
		Boric acid also aids in the fiberization process of fiberglass, which is used in fiberglass insulation as well as in textile fiberglass (which is a fabric-like material commonly used in skis, circuit boards, and other similar applications).
		Boric acid and related compounds are being used as a source of hydrogen in the development of fuel cells and other “clean” fuel technologies.

	Boric Acid - LoveToKnow 1911
		The free acid is found native in certain volcanic districts such as Tuscany, the Lipari Islands and Nevada, issuing mixed with steam from fissures in the ground; it is also found as a constituent of many minerals (borax, boracite, boronatrocalcite and colemanite).
		Boric acid is also obtained from boronatrocalcite by treatment with sulphuric acid, followed by the evaporation of the solution so obtained.
		That orthoboric acid is a tribasic acid is shown by the formation of ethyl orthoborate on esterification, the vapour density of which corresponds to the molecular formula B(0C2H5)3; the molecular formula of the acid must consequently be B(OH) 3 or H 3 B0 3.

		The lubricating mechanism of boric acid is controlled by its special structure.The compound is crystallized in layers in which the atoms are tightly bonded to each other.
		Argonne is currently demonstrating the self-replenishing nature of boric acid on boron-containing surfaces, the ultra-low friction and wear of grease and oil products containing boric acid, and the ultra-low friction of aluminum surfaces lubricated with boric acid.
