Boron（Cat No.:M015218）is a metalloid element with the atomic number 5 and symbol B. It exists in both amorphous and crystalline forms and is essential in trace amounts for plants and possibly humans. Boron is used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of borosilicate glass, ceramics, detergents, flame retardants, and as a dopant in semiconductors. It also plays a role in advanced materials like boron fibers and boron carbide. In biology, boron supports cell wall structure in plants and bone health in humans. It is typically sourced from borate minerals such as borax.
