Just in case anyone is after Borax, I just bought a 1.84 Kg box at Home Top for $10.14

Bones indeed have fascinating properties! Let’s explore the crystalline nature of bones.

Composition of Bone: Bone is primarily composed of two main components: mineral crystals and collagen. The mineral component consists of hydroxyapatite, which is a crystalline complex of calcium and phosphate. These mineral crystals give bone its hardness and rigidity1. The protein component, collagen, provides flexibility and tensile strength to bone. Crystal Structure: Recent research has revealed intriguing details about the arrangement of mineral crystals in bone. At the nanoscale level, the hydroxyapatite crystals within bone have a slightly curved, finger-like shape. These clusters of crystals form a hand-like pattern, and these patterns are stacked on top of each other. When viewed at a higher level, these stacked clusters exhibit twisting, helical shapes. In fact, each level of the mineral architecture features these helical structures. This intricate arrangement contributes to bone’s unique properties, allowing it to be both stiff enough to support the body and tough enough to protect it2. Significance: Just as twisted fibers in a rope provide strength, these helical structures in bone contribute to its mechanical properties. The many layers of crystal and collagen organization likely explain why bone can withstand both compressive forces and bending stresses. Researchers studying bone growth in the lab face a significant challenge due to this complexity2. In summary, bones are indeed crystalline, with their mineral component forming intricate patterns that contribute to their remarkable strength and resilience. 🦴💪🔬2.

OrangeDragon, thanks for the advice! I will try Thai Huot first. You were referring to:

Thai Huot Trading Co. Ltd 99 - 105 Blvd Preach Monivong

Right? Looks like adventure time is afoot. Woowee, i lead one exciting life. I will update if I find anything in case anyone else hungers for the deaths of a million ants.

[Morningstar88]

same company, but the one we would have went to was: Thai Huot Trading Co. Ltd la Residence Suite Building Ground No. 6 Street 592, Sangkat Beung Kok 2, Khan Tuol Kork, Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia.

Tel : (+855) 23 724 623 / 884 622 Fax: (+855) 23 724 622 E-Mail:thaihuot@online.com.kh

we were living out on the fringes at the time.

[Morningstar88]

we are willing to go to the far corners of Phnom Penh for my war on ants. Well, I am willing at least. The s/o will come along to get me to shut up about ants.

Bone is mostly made of mineral crystals and the protein collagen. Your bones contain crystals shaped like fingers and hands

In Siem Reap, you might find borax at local markets or stores that specialize in household cleaning products or construction materials. While I don't have specific store details, places like the Made in Cambodia Market or Angkor Night Market could be good starting points as they offer a variety of goods¹. Additionally, stores that supply construction materials, such as K Home Construction Material Supply, might carry borax⁴. It's always a good idea to check out these markets or contact local stores directly to inquire about their stock. Happy shopping! 😊

I'm glad you asked! Unfortunately, it seems that K Home Construction Material Supply in Siem Reap does not have a non-Facebook website or a publicly listed email address. However, they do have a contact number. You can reach them at 017 888 313 to inquire about borax availability or any other construction materials you may need². If you prefer email communication, you might consider calling them to ask for their email address directly. I hope this helps! 😊

It is commonly available in powder or granular form and has many industrial and household uses, including as a pesticide, as a metal soldering flux, as a component of glass, enamel, and pottery glazes, for tanning of skins and hides, for artificial aging of wood, as a preservative against wood fungus, and as a pharmaceutic alkalizer. In chemical laboratories, it is used as a buffering agent.[1][8]

Natural sources Main article: Borax (mineral)

Borax "cottonball" Borax occurs naturally in evaporite deposits produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. The most commercially important deposits are found in: Turkey; Boron, California; and Searles Lake, California. Also, borax has been found at many other locations in the Southwestern United States, the Atacama desert in Chile, newly discovered deposits in Bolivia, and in Tibet and Romania. Borax can also be produced synthetically from other boron compounds.[19]

Naturally occurring borax (known by the trade name Rasorite–46 in the United States and many other countries) is refined by a process of recrystallization.[20]

Boric acid, more specifically orthoboric acid, is a compound of boron, oxygen, and hydrogen with formula B(OH)3. It may also be called hydrogen orthoborate, trihydroxidoboron or boracic acid.

[Morningstar88]

It is usually encountered as colorless crystals or a white powder, that dissolves in water, and occurs in nature as the mineral sassolite. It is a weak acid that yields various borate anions and salts, and can react with alcohols to form borate esters.

Boric acid is often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, neutron absorber, or precursor to other boron compounds.

[Morningstar88]

Natural occurrence Borate ions occur, alone or with other anions, in many borate and borosilicate minerals such as borax, boracite, ulexite (boronatrocalcite) and colemanite. Borates also occur in seawater, where they make an important contribution to the absorption of low frequency sound in seawater.[1]

[Morningstar88]

In 1905, Burgess and Holt observed that fusing mixtures of boric oxide B2O3 and sodium carbonate Na2CO3 yielded on cooling two crystalline compounds with definite compositions, consistent with anhydrous borax Na2B4O7 (which can be written Na2O·2B2O3) and sodium octaborate Na2B8O13 (which can be written Na2O·4B2O3).[6]

[Morningstar88]

Borate salts A number of metal borates are known. They can be obtained by treating boric acid or boron oxides with metal oxides.

[Morningstar88]

Mixed anion salts Some chemicals contain another anion in addition to borate. These include borate chlorides, borate carbonates, borate nitrates, borate sulfates, borate phosphates.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Borosilicate)

Guitar slide made of borosilicate glass Borosilicate glass is a type of glass with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (≈3 × 10−6 K−1 at 20 °C), making them more resistant to thermal shock than any other common glass. Such glass is subjected to less thermal stress and can withstand temperature differentials without fracturing of about 165 °C (300 °F).[1] It is commonly used for the construction of reagent bottles and flasks, as well as lighting, electronics, and cookware.

[Morningstar88]

Borosilicate glass is sold under various trade names, including Borosil, Duran, Pyrex, Glassco, Supertek, Suprax, Simax, Bellco, Marinex (Brazil), BSA 60, BSC 51 (by NIPRO), Heatex, Endural, Schott, Refmex, Kimax, Gemstone Well, United Scientific, and MG (India).
