Boric Acid is a weak acid commonly found in the form of a white powder or colorless crystals and is widely used for various household, medical, and industrial purposes. It is known for its antiseptic, antifungal, and insecticidal properties, making it effective for treating minor cuts, eye infections (in diluted form), and fungal issues, as well as controlling pests like ants and cockroaches. In industries, it plays an important role in the production of glass, ceramics, and detergents.

Therefore, it should always be handled with care and kept out of reach of children and pets.
