Product Description:
Borax, also known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is a white, crystalline powder or granular substance with the chemical formula Na2B4O7·10H2O. It is a naturally occurring mineral and a refined compound used in a wide variety of applications due to its versatility and effectiveness. Borax is typically sourced from evaporite deposits produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. It is known for its properties as a cleaning agent, preservative, and buffer, among other uses.
Function:
Cleaning Agent: Borax is widely used as a multipurpose cleaner due to its alkaline nature and ability to soften water, enhancing the cleaning power of detergents and soaps.
Preservative: It acts as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of mold, fungi, and bacteria, making it useful in various industrial and household applications.
Buffering Agent: Borax helps to stabilize pH levels, making it an effective buffering agent in many chemical processes.
Water Softener: It softens water by binding with calcium and magnesium ions, preventing the formation of scale and improving the effectiveness of cleaning agents.
Flux in Metallurgy: In metallurgy, borax is used as a flux to reduce the melting point of metals and to remove impurities during the smelting and refining processes.
