Borax Decahydrate (Na2B4O7·10H2O) and Borax Anhydrous (Na2B4O7) are versatile raw materials commonly used in various industries. Borax decahydrate is a white crystalline powder or granular material with 10 molecules of water, while anhydrous borax has no water of crystallization. Both forms are used extensively in detergents, glass manufacturing, ceramics, and as a flux in metallurgy.
Borax decahydrate is valued for its water-softening properties and is an essential ingredient in household cleaners, laundry detergents, and personal care products. In the glass and ceramics industries, it acts as a fluxing agent, lowering the melting temperature of silica and enhancing the durability and transparency of glass. It is also used in the production of fiberglass and enamel coatings.
Anhydrous borax, on the other hand, is primarily used where moisture sensitivity is a concern, such as in adhesives, sealants, and metal refining. Its water-free form ensures stability in high-temperature processes. Both borax forms come in 25kg bags for convenient industrial-scale use.
This product is widely appreciated for its diverse applications, cost-efficiency, and reliability.
