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] Borates also occur in plants, including almost all fruits. [2]
The Borate Minerals are minerals which contain a borate anion group. The borate (BO 3) units may be polymerised similar to the SiO 4 unit of the silicate mineral class. This results in B 2 O 5, B 3 O 6, B 2 O 4 anions as well as more complex structures which include hydroxide or halogen anions. [2] The [B(O,OH) 4] − anion exists as well.

The borate chlorides are chemical compounds that contain both borate ions and chloride ions. They are mixed anion compounds. Many of them are minerals.

Borax (also referred to as sodium borate, tincal (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k əl /) and tincar (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k ər /)) is a salt (ionic compound), a hydrated or anhydrous borate of sodium, with the chemical formula Na 2 H 20 B 4 O 17. [1] [a] It is a colorless crystalline solid that dissolves in water to make a basic solution.
Trisodium borate is a chemical compound of sodium, boron, and oxygen, with formula Na 3 BO 3, or (Na +) 3 [BO 3] 3−. [3] It is a sodium salt of the orthoboric acid B(OH) 3 . The compound is also called trisodium orthoborate , sodium orthoborate , or just sodium borate .
Zinc borate refers to a family of inorganic compounds consisting of borate of zinc. They are white solids with the formulas 4ZnO·B 2 O 3 ·H 2 O, ZnO·B 2 O 3 ·1.12H 2 O, ZnO·B 2 O 3 ·∼2H 2 O, 6ZnO·5B 2 O 3 ·3H 2 O, 2ZnO·3B 2 O 3 ·7H 2 O, 2ZnO·3B 2 O 3 ·3H 2 O, 3ZnO·5B 2 O 3 ·14H 2 O, and ZnO·5B 2 O 3 ·4.5H 2 O.
