🌿 Application Fields and Practical Benefits

1. Wood Preservation and Termite Control

Application:
DOT is widely used as a water-soluble preservative for wood and cellulose-based materials. It can be applied through brushing, spraying, soaking, or pressure treatment.

Effect:

• Effectively controls termites, carpenter ants, powderpost beetles, and fungi.

• Offers long-term protection without altering wood color or texture.

• Used in both construction-grade timber and indoor furnishings.

Mechanism:
The boron in DOT interferes with the metabolism of insects and fungi by inhibiting enzyme systems, disrupting reproduction, and ultimately causing death of pests. Once applied, it remains active inside the wood as long as the treated structure stays protected from water leaching.

2. Flame Retardants in Insulation and Building Materials

Application:
DOT is incorporated into cellulose insulation, plywood, and fiberboard as a flame retardant additive.

Effect:

• Reduces flammability of materials.

• Enhances thermal stability.

• Maintains material integrity without releasing toxic gases during combustion.

Mechanism:
The boron compound promotes the formation of a protective char layer during heating, slowing down combustion and reducing the release of volatile gases.

3. Agricultural Fertilizers

Application:
Used as a boron micronutrient for soil amendment or foliar spray in agriculture.

Effect:

• Corrects boron deficiency in crops such as citrus, grapes, vegetables, and oilseeds.

• Improves flowering, fruit set, and overall crop health.

• Enhances root development and sugar transport.

Mechanism:
Boron is essential in plant cell wall formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and pollen viability. DOT releases boron gradually, ensuring a balanced uptake without the risk of toxicity.

4. Ceramic, Glass, and Industrial Formulations

Application:
Used in specialty glass, enamel coatings, detergents, and corrosion inhibitors.

Effect:

• Improves chemical resistance and thermal properties.

• Acts as a buffering agent and pH stabilizer.

• Enhances mechanical strength in ceramics and glass.
