Borax Decahydrate 25kg
Sodium Tetraborate Decahydrate 25kg
Borax Decahydrate is a versatile mineral used in cleaning, laundry (as a booster and water softener), pest control (for ants, roaches), agriculture (as a boron fertilizer), and industrial processes for glass/ceramics, metallurgy (as flux), and as a flame retardant, acting as a mild alkali, emulsifier, and pH buffer in many applications from DIY slime to specialized chemical manufacturing.
Household & Cleaning
Laundry Booster: Softens water, stabilizes enzymes, removes oily soils, and boosts detergent power.
All-Purpose Cleaner: Cuts grease, deodorizes, removes mildew, and cleans surfaces.
Pest Control: Kills ants, cockroaches, and fleas by acting as a stomach poison and abrasive.
Crafts: A key ingredient in making “slime”.

Industrial & Manufacturing
Glass & Ceramics: Used as a flux to lower melting points and improve durability, creating glazes and specialized glass.
Metallurgy: Acts as a flux to remove oxides during welding and metal casting.
Flame Retardant: Added to textiles and cellulosic materials to reduce flammability.
Agriculture: Supplies essential boron as a micronutrient fertilizer for plants.
Other Applications
Cosmetics: Used as an emulsifier in lotions and creams.
Pharmaceuticals: Found in some contact lens solutions and other preparations as a buffer and mild cleaner.
Corrosion Inhibitor: Prevents oxidation in engine coolants and antifreeze.
Key Properties
pH Buffering: Stabilizes pH levels in solutions.
Alkaline: A mild alkali that boosts cleaning power.
Water Softener: Helps detergents work better in hard water.
Emulsifier: Helps mix oils, waxes, and water.

Borax decahydrate is added to formulations to clean hard surfaces such as metals, glass, and ceramics. It is also used as an additive in hand cleaners, polishes and waxes, and industrial/institutional cleaning compounds.

• 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
