Application

Sodium tetraborate, decahydrate Na2B4O7*10H2O (sodium tetraborate decahydrate, decahydrate, Borax) is an excellent source of boron oxide and is widely used in various branches of industrial production.

In the production of glass of special purpose, fiberglass and glass cloth. Borax (sodium tetraborate) facilitates the melting of charge material, reduces melt viscosity, prevents devitrification, which leads to the increase of strength, resistance to mechanical, chemical and thermal impact of the final product, the use of borax contributes to the fiberizing process, which leads to the hardening of glass fiber, chemical resistance, the improvement of heat and sound proof characteristics.
In the production of enamels and glazes borax (sodium tetraborate) is used as a source of boron oxide. It forms part of glazes and enamels as an inorganic binder.
Metallurgy. Borax is used as a source of boron oxide – antioxidant agent.
Gold mining. In the process of gold ore refining anhydrous borax is mainly used. The effect of anhydrous borax application: gold yield increase, the improvement of ingot quality.
Borax (sodium tetraborate) is widely used in the production of antifreeze, brake fluids and lubricants, as it forms a complex compound with iron on the metal surface, acting as a protective barrier against corrosion.
Sodium tetraborate (borax) is used in construction as a corrosion inhibitor of steel structures. In the production of cellulose wool, adhesives, wood chip board, as a flame retardant and antiseptic.
The production of detergents, cleaners and brighteners.

Borax (Sodium tetraborate) is a starting component in the production of sodium perborate – the main oxygen-containing bleaching agent in powdered detergents, polishes, ointments.
