Zinc borate (Borogard ZB, U.S. Borax Inc.) in amonnts of 0.5,1 and 2% (w/w) in the composite materials practically stopped the microbial degradation in the latter, when exposed in the AWPA laboratory soil block procednre. In all the cases, weight loss valnes were less than 1.1%. Thns, the data clearly demonstrated the significant improvement in protection against fnngal decay in the presence of the said amount of zinc borate. It was noticed, however, that the nse of zinc borate did not completely control snrface mold on WPC decks exposed in ontdoor held tests, but improved the visual appearance of the composite boards [2].

The proposed use of boron materials for hydrogen storage in large automotive fleets involving hundreds of millions of vehicles has prompted questions regarding the adequacy of boron resources to meet these enormous demands. For this reason, U.S. Borax Inc. assessed borate reserves in both the United States and the world and compared this assessment with potential initial fill requirements of a recyclable boron-based fuel for a large fleet of FCVs.
