In addition to being used as flame retardant, zinc borate is widely used in flame retardant and smoke suppression of various fibers, resins, rubber products, electrical insulating materials, electronic products shell, automotive parts wall materials, wires and cables, flame retardant coatings and other aspects. It can also be used in wood, paper, medicine, waterproof fabrics, ceramic glazes, coatings and other anti-mildew agents, fungicides, preservatives, rust inhibitors, such as boron. Zinc acid is used as anticorrosive paint for automobile and ship primers. In addition, zinc borate can be used as an assistant solvent in the new low-temperature fast firing process of ceramics, and has broad application prospects in the preparation of anti-wear and anti-wear lubricants.

At present, the application of zinc borate is still in the stage of development in our country. With the development of flame retardants in the future, such as low toxicity, halogenation-free, compounding and smoke suppression, zinc borate, as a flame retardant with superior performance, will have broad prospects for development and utilization in our country.
