From its chemical composition to its practical applications, borax showcases an impressive array of benefits. Composed of boron, sodium, oxygen, and water, this white crystalline powder exhibits remarkable solubility, alkalinity, and buffering capacity. These properties make borax a valuable ingredient in industrial manufacturing processes, where it is used in areas such as metallurgy, ceramics, and glass production.

Borax, a compound of boron and sodium, is a white, water-soluble powder or granular substance that functions as a glass former and low temperature flux. It enhances glaze fit on ceramics and produces vibrant colors when combined with oxides. Commonly known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate. Besides its role in ceramics, borax finds applications in cosmetics, household detergents, swimming pool chemicals, and soil fertilizers.

Borax Decahydrate

Borax Decahydrate

Decahydrate borax represents the purified variant of naturally occurring sodium borate. This substance consists of boric oxide (B2O3), sodium oxide, and water. It takes the form of a gentle, alkaline salt, characterized by its white, crystalline granules or powder appearance, and remarkable capabilities in buffering and fluxing.

chemical formula: Na2B4O7·10H2O
