Borax Decahydrate is the refined form of natural sodium borate. Composed of boric oxide (B₂O₃), sodium oxide, and water, it is a mild, alkaline salt, white and crystalline, with excellent buffering and fluxing properties. Available in powder or granular form, Borax Decahydrate is an important multifunctional source of B₂O₃, particularly for processes in which the simultaneous presence of sodium is beneficial.
