Pirotecnia Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I want to know if we can use borax (sodium borate) instead of boric acid in aluminium/nitrate compositions. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 You cannot. It may actually make the problem worse. Borax is relatively basic, so may make the reaction even more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMICSGroup Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 You cannot because it makes the problem worse. Here is the example i have used boric acid as an and pest barrier by sprinkling it inside my house near the doorway. So do not use boron compounds outdoors in the lawn or garden.
