A multifunctional source of boric oxide
Borax 10 Mol, also known as Borax Decahydrate, is the refined form of natural sodium borate. From detergents to dyes to adhesives, this mild alkaline salt does it all, particularly excelling as a buffering and fluxing agent.
Benefits
- Removes oily soils from fabrics, and imparts alkalinity, pH buffering, and softening of the wash water
- Gentle cleanser and buffering agent
- Dissolves metal oxides in the recovery of metals such as brass, copper, lead, and zinc from scrap or smelting slag
- Slows corrosion in aqueous systems, water treatment chemicals, and in the manufacture of automotive and engine coolant formulations
- Stabilizer and bonding agent in specialty abrasives
- Cross-linking agent in the manufacture of casein-and dextrin-based adhesives
- Greatly improves the tack and green strength of such adhesives by cross-linking conjugated hydroxyl groups
Characteristics
Composed of boric oxide (B2O3), sodium oxide, and water, Borax 10 Mol is available in white crystalline powder or granular form.
