Beta Barium Barate is a novel deodorizing agent. It was first used for the treatment of bad breath and has now been successfully employed for various other purposes. This amazing compound was first discovered by Professor Helmuth von Moltke at the University of Munich in Germany in 1937. It has recently been found to be useful for controlling body odor.
Barium borate is a unique inorganic compound, an alkaline borate with a nonlinear optical crystal structure. It's very similar in chemical composition to strontium, yet it has a wide transparency index (one of the highest values in nature). It's available as a dry powder or as transparent crystals, which can be seen on store shelves and in medical supplies' catalogues.
As a photoprotective agent, beta-barium borate can protect skin from solar-induced damage (ultraviolet A radiation). It has strong photo-luminous properties: it produces high damage threshold in human subjects. Furthermore, its high damage threshold protects against thermal stimuli, such as violet, blue and ultraviolet light.
Its applications in the field of medicine are not limited to the field of photonics: it has also been successfully used for the treatment of halitosis (bad breath). It produces a very high purity and a clear photo-luminous product, which can be seen in medical tests easily. Its nonlinear Optical Crystal (L OC) property makes it ideal for photo-biostimulation. Clinical trials have confirmed that beta barium borate in combination with oxygen laser (photoenergetic therapy), increases blood flow and enhances the production of healthy new blood vessels.
In industrial settings, the application of beta-barium borate in the form of a nonlinear Optical Crystal (L OC) is used in Lidar antimicrobial coatings. These coatings protect the surfaces from wear and tear. It is also used in the production of high strength steel for military and aerospace applications. The high strength and toughness of borate titanium and barium make it ideal for component production and aerospace structures, making it an important ingredient in structural & aircraft components.
Finally, it is used for corrosion protection in chemical plants, power generation and petroleum refineries. Beta barium borate crystals with diamond-like dispersion are also used in corrosion studies. These crystals are usually prepared by a process called 'crystallization' in a cryogenic environment, with low pressure. It is also used in the coating of aluminum alloys. As of now, the uses of beta barium borate are yet to find their niche.
