Dear student

For the game of carrom, boric acid is sprinkled onto the board of play to act as a dry lubricant to increase the speed of the pieces when struck.

Dear student 
Boric acid has layered structure which makes it slippery. 
It is used in carrom so that pieces slide across board more easily.
