Fries :Calcined ulexite is also used to make fries not only to ceramic industry but also to fiberglass industry.

Boric acid and borax production : As a good feedstock ulexite is also a neccesary element to make other products

related to borates family. As for example:

• To make boric acid

• To make borax (decahydrate borax, pentahydrate borax or anhydrous borax)
