Product Description
Sodium tetraborate, commonly known as borax or disodium tetraborate, is an inorganic boron compound composed of sodium, boron, and oxygen. Its anhydrous formula is Na₂B₄O₇, though commercial material is frequently supplied as pentahydrate or decahydrate crystals containing bound water. The product generally appears as a white crystalline powder or granule and forms a mildly alkaline solution when dissolved in water. It functions as a buffer, flux, cleaning aid, water softener, corrosion inhibitor, and source of boron. Sodium tetraborate is widely used in glass, textile fiberglass, ceramics, enamels, glazes, detergents, flame retardants, metal processing, adhesives, oilfield chemicals, and agricultural micronutrient formulations. In glass and ceramics, it lowers processing temperatures and supports thermal and chemical durability. In cleaning products, it improves alkalinity, assists stain removal, and enhances formulation stability.
