Sodium Perborate Tetrahydrate, Min 96%

Sodium Perborate Tetrahydrate (NaBO₃·4H₂O), with a minimum purity of 96%, is a technical-grade compound primarily used as a stable source of active oxygen. It serves a range of applications, including developing vat dyes, textile bleaching, and in the formulation of synthetic detergents and laundry products. Compared to more aggressive bleach alternatives like sodium hypochlorite, Sodium Perborate is less harsh on fabrics and dyes, making it ideal for cleaning and laundry bleaches. It is also used in dental compositions, electroplating, and as a laboratory reagent. The product is available as a white powder, sometimes forming clumps, and is moderately toxic by ingestion. Due to its strong oxidizing properties, it poses a fire risk when in contact with organic materials. Sodium Perborate Tetrahydrate is available for ground shipping via UPS or FedEx and cannot be shipped by air or priority services.

Key Features

• Stable source of active oxygen for cleaning and bleaching
• Less aggressive than sodium hypochlorite and other chlorine-based bleaches
• Used in textile bleaching, laundry detergents, and vat dye development
• Ideal for dental compositions and electroplating
• Moderately toxic by ingestion; strong oxidizing agent
• White powder, may form clumps
