Borax is sodium tetraborate decahydrate, Na2B4O7·10H2O (CAS 1303-96-4), a white crystalline powder that dissolves in water to give a mildly alkaline solution.
It is used in glass, glass fibre, ceramic glazes and enamels, as a flux for brazing, welding and soldering, in laundry and cleaning products as a detergent booster and water softener, as a boron micronutrient in fertilizers, and in wood preservation, adhesives and corrosion inhibitors.
Borax is classified in the EU as toxic to reproduction. Avoid dust and do not use near food.
We keep stock at our Barka warehouse and deliver across Oman, including Muscat, Sohar, Salalah and Duqm. Send the quantity and pack size you need and we will quote.
Borax major utilization : Glass and porcelain industries are the major consumers of borax and boric acid.
It is an essential component of heat-resisting borosilicate glass, glass fibres and industrial & optical glass. In glass, enamels and ceramics, it controls thermal expansion, improves durability, assists melting processes and adds to inorganic colours and decorations.
Borax is used in medicine (boric powder), leather processing, adhesive, corrosion inhibition, ferrous wire manufacture, flame-proofing and timber preservation.
Borax is used as a flux in brazing, welding, soldering .
Its easy solubility and property to soften hard water find applications in soaps, cleaners & detergents and for water treatment. Because of its mild alkalinity and germicidal nature, it is used in manufacturing toothpastes and mouth washes.
Borax is used as an antiseptic and emulsifying agent in cosmetics industry. As a decolourising agent, it is used in vanaspati industry. In textile industry, borax is used as a decolourising agent as well as for maintaining the alkalinity of solutions used for producing rayons. It prevents mould formation in citrus fruits.
In agriculture, borax is used as an essential plant nutrient.
Boron compounds are used for fertilizers, algicides, herbicides and insecticides.
Borax and boric acid are used in fire-retardant treatment.
Borax also used as food grain preservative, respectively.
Borate ester is used as dehydrating agent, special solvent and catalyst in chemical industry. In nuclear reactor, boron acts as neutron absorber. "Boron neutron capture therapy", a form of radiochemotherapy, is becoming increasingly important for treatment of certain forms of cancers and boron neutron capture synovectomy for treatment of arthritis.
Borates are consumed mainly in glass fibre for insulations and textile-grade fibre. Diborane (gas), pentaborane (liquid) and decaborane (solid) are potential jet and rocket engine fuels. Boron hydride also has potential value as rocket fuel. The high energy fuel value imparted by the addition of boron compounds has given considerable strategic significance to borates. Another use of borates is the invention of oxgano-sodium borate (liquibor) for use in hydraulic brake fluids.
Borax can be mixed with most other cleaning agents, including chlorine bleach.
Sodium Borate, Sodium Tetraborate, or Disodium tetraborate is an important boron compound a mineral and a salt of boric acid.
Borax is used in laundry products as a detergent booster and water softener.
