Key Functions: Flame - Fire Retardants, Pesticides & Biocides
Since toxicity data for zinc borate were limited, potential hazards are inferred through knowledge of its potential byproducts or dissociation products, such as zinc (as various salts) and boron (as borate/boric acid). Zinc is an essential nutrient that is integral to many physiological processes. Boron is a trace element for which essentiality is suspected but has not been directly proven in humans (EPA, 2004).
