Boron's atomic number is 5 and its symbol is B. Boron is a metalloid that can be found in elemental form naturally in meteoroids. It is mostly used in compound forms as an additive to make things such as fiberglass, high-strength ceramics, and fertilizers. Its name comes from the mineral that it was first isolated from, “borax”. Boron is essential for the growth of plants and therefore all life. In 2017 boron was detected on Mars. The boron in these acrylic cubes was obtained as pure crystals. Although boron is a relatively common element here on Earth, producing pure boron is a cost-intensive process. This results in a price of around $600/lb for pure boron.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.

Proudly made in the U.S.A.
