Sodium borate decahydrate, commonly known as borax, is a multi-functional compound used in cleaning products, glass manufacturing, flame retardants, and agriculture. With 45% water of crystallization and density 1.73 g/cm³, it serves as a pH buffer, flux agent, and boron source. Industrial-grade purity (99.5%) supports reliable performance in detergents, ceramics, fiberglass, and pesticides.
Its alkaline nature, flame-retardant properties, and antimicrobial characteristics make it valuable across household cleaning, industrial, and agricultural applications with 2-year shelf stability.
| Sr. No. | Description | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Purity | 99.5% minimum |
| 2 | Chemical Formula | Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O |
| 3 | Form | White crystalline powder or granules |
| 4 | Country of origin | India |
| 5 | Quantities | 25 kg and 50 kg bags; powder and granule options available |
White crystalline powder with density approximately 1.73 g/cm³ and moisture content 45% (water of crystallization).
Freely soluble in water, forming clear solutions with pH 9.0–9.5; sparingly soluble in cold ethanol.
Melting point ~75°C (hydrate) with gradual loss of water; stable at room temperature.
Non-flammable, chemically stable; provides lubrication and buffering properties in various formulations.
Household cleaner and laundry detergent booster for improving cleaning efficacy and alkalinity.
Flame retardant in textiles, plastics, cellulosic materials, and insulation for fire safety.
Glass and ceramic manufacturing flux for lowering melting temperature and improving product quality.
Agricultural micronutrient fertilizer providing boron for crop development and soil health management.
Industrial and technical grades available; low impurities and controlled particle size for consistency.
Mild irritant; use gloves and avoid prolonged skin contact; eye protection recommended.
Store in dry conditions away from moisture; can lose water and cake if exposed to humidity.
Handle with standard PPE; ensure ventilation; wash hands after handling to prevent irritation.
