Sodium tetraborate decahydrate, 99+%
Description
It is used in detergents, cosmetics, and enamel glazes. It is likewise employed to prepare buffer solutions in biochemistry, as a fire retardant, anti-fungal compound, in the manufacture of fiberglass, as a flux in metallurgy, neutron-capture shields for radioactive sources, a texturing agent in cooking, and as a harbinger for other boron compounds. The molten borax bath is useful for carbide coating process on metals. It is applied as an efficient metal-free catalyst for Hetero-Michael reactions in an aqueous medium.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
