BOREOX® is a direct replacement for boric acid, which has been classified as harmful to health. This is a harmless organic material that shows excellent binding properties and high resistance to X-rays. It is particularly good when used as a backing material.

Alternatively, CEREOX® can be used. CEREOX® is comprised of a wax, previously known as Hoechst wax. This material is clean and very resistant to X-rays. Mixed with a sample (1 part wax to 4 parts sample), CEREOX® forms a perfect pellet with any material.

CELLEOX® is a cellulose based binder. The binding properties are not as good as BOREOX® and CEREOX®. Therefore, it is mainly used as a grinding aid but it is also available as grinding aid tablets. CELLEOX® is excellent at absorbing multiphase liquids or liquids with particles.
