Borax Decahydrate Technical Granular is a free-flowing, white, crystalline product. Available in powder or granular form, Borax Decahydrate is an important multifunctional source of B2O3, particularly for processes in which the simultaneous presence of sodium is beneficial.
Borax Decahydrate is the refined form of natural sodium borate. Composed of boric oxide (B2O3), sodium oxide, and water, it is a mild, alkaline salt, white and crystalline, with excellent buffering and fluxing properties.
Borax Decahydrate Application
- In laundry detergents, it facilitates the removal of oily soils from fabrics, and imparts alkalinity, pH buffering and softening of the wash water.
- It is also used to stabilize enzymes.
- In personal care products, Borax decahydrate is used in cosmetics, toiletries, and pharmaceuticals.
- Borax, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid.
- Powdered borax is white, consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve in water

Applications
Soap and detergents
Borax Decahydrate is incorporated in many cleaning products as a pH buffering agent, to aid in the emulsification of oils, and as a gentle abrasive. Borax Decahydrate is added to powdered hand soaps to remove medium to heavy soils encountered in industrial operations. It is gentle to the skin, yet highly effective in removing dirt. Borax Decahydrate is added to formulations to clean hard surfaces such as metals, glass and ceramics.
Personal care products
Borax Decahydrate is used in cosmetics, toiletries and pharmaceuticals. In contact lens solutions, it is used in conjunction with boric acid as a gentle cleaner and buffering agent. Borax is also used as a crosslinking agent to emulsify waxes and other paraffins used as a base for lotions, creams and ointments.
Metallurgical fluxes
The ability of Borax Decahydrate to dissolve metal oxides is exploited in the recovery of metals such as brass, copper, lead and zinc from scrap or smelting slag.
Corrosion inhibition
Borax Decahydrate is incorporated in many aqueous systems requiring corrosion inhibition. It protects ferrous metals against oxidation and finds use in the manufacture of automotive and engine coolant formulations, and various water treatment chemicals.
The high solubility of Borax Decahydrate in ethylene glycol makes it especially useful in car antifreeze formulations. Borax Decahydrate neutralizes the acidic residue resulting from the decomposition of ethylene glycol and minimizes the rate of oxidation at the surface of the metal.
Adhesives
Borax Decahydrate is part of the starch adhesive formulation for corrugated paper and paperboard, and is a peptizing agent in the manufacture of casein-based and dextrin-based adhesives. It greatly improves the tack and green strength of the adhesive by crosslinking conjugated hydroxyl groups.
Wire drawing
Borax Decahydrate neutralizes the residual acid from the pickling stage, and the deposit of the salt remaining on the wire is valuable as a carrier of dry powdered lubricant.
Refractories
Borax Decahydrate compounds are used as stabilizers and bonding agents in specialty abrasives. Borax Decahydrate gives an intermediate-temperature glassy bond prior to the establishment of the ceramic bond, at which point the borate compound is frequently volatilized from the system.
Some other applications
Borax Decahydrate is used as a flame retardant for cellulosic materials, a buffer and catalyst for organic dyes, a carrier for herbicides, and a degreasing buffer in enamelling processes.
