...sales, U.S. Borax hopes to sell the boron additive directly to dealers, swell boron gas into a healthy market. Boron is also being carefully researched for use in new plastics with high-temperature melting point, in atomic energy (since they absorb neutrons, some boron compounds can be used as reactor shields), in fire-retardant additives for plastics and paints, in new steel alloys. Says U.S. Borax President James M. Gerstley: "Unless the past reverses itself completely, we have to expect that the demand will at least double again in the next ten years...
