Borax Pentahydrate comprises of 5 mol water. It is stated also as sodium tetraborate pentahydrate, disodium tetraborate pentahydrate, borax 5 mole. Borax Pentahydrate, chemical formula is Na2B4O7.5H2O, is white, odorless and granular.

Some Applications and Benefits Insulating Fiberglass Borax Pentahydrate as boron compound is used in insulation fiberglass. It is applied to the wall and ceiling as using it in building insulation in construction sector. Glass Borax Pentahydrate is added to glass products where thermo-insulation is needed. Because when it is added to molten glass intermediates it increases viscosity, surface hardness and durability. Agriculture Boron is an element which should be in soil needed for growing and developing plants. Borax Pentahydrate is used in agriculture for increasing efficiency and quality of yield.

ceramics. Borate usage in glazes differs according to solubility of them in water. Borax Pentahydrate is used in ceramics as glaze raw material because of having high solubility in water. Flame Retardants Flame retardants prevent inflaming and spreading of flame. Borates are used in different materials as flame retardant. Borates cover materials by melting and prevent burning of material by cutting off contact of oxygen with flame.

Metallurgy Borax Pentahydrate is used as product which is a protective forming slag and it accelerates melting in non-ferrous metal industry. Because it could form smooth, adhesive, protective and clean, burr-free liquid at high temperatures. Construction Borax Pentahydrate is used in making buildings as earthquake-resistant, high strength and heat resistant. Also, Borax Pentahydrate has a significant use in terms of heat and sound insulation. Antifreeze Borax is also used as anti-freeze additive mixture to prevent corrosion in cooling systems of vehicles. Adhesive In arranging viscosity of starchy adhesives and in solvent of casein adhesives, Borax Pentahydrate is used. Leatherworking On leatherworking, Borax Pentahydrate is used as lime expectorant.
