Borax Decahydrate 10.5% Boron
Chemical Formula: Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O

Borax Decahydrate

Sodium Tetraborate Decahydrate (Technical / Agro Grade)

A naturally occurring mineral salt also known as Sodium Borate. It is a vital source of Boron, an essential micronutrient for plant growth. Additionally, it serves as a flux in glass/ceramics and a buffering agent in detergents.

CAS Number 1303-96-4
H.S. Code 28401900
Appearance White Crystalline Powder

Product Overview

Borax Decahydrate is the refined form of natural sodium borate. Composed of boric oxide ($B_2O_3$), sodium oxide, and water, it is a mild alkaline salt with excellent buffering and fluxing properties. Ruvon International supplies high-purity (99.5% Min) Borax Decahydrate, ensuring consistent Boron content for agricultural efficacy and industrial performance.

In agriculture, Boron is critical for cell wall formation and reproductive growth. A deficiency leads to poor flowering and fruit set. Borax is the most common and effective Boron fertilizer for soil application.

The "Cell Wall Architect"

Boron acts as the structural engineer for plants. It is essential for the formation and stability of cell walls, regulating the transport of sugars and starches. Without sufficient Boron (provided by Borax), plants suffer from brittle stems, poor root growth, and flower drop. It is especially critical during the reproductive stage for pollen tube growth and fruit development, directly impacting yield quality in fruits and vegetables.

Industrial & Agricultural Uses

Agriculture

Corrects Boron deficiency in soil. Essential for oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables.

Glass & Ceramics

Fluxing agent to lower melting point and improve thermal shock resistance (Borosilicate glass).

Detergents

pH buffer, water softener, and bleaching agent activator (Perborates).

Flame Retardants

Inhibits flame spread and suppresses smoke generation in cellulose materials.

Metallurgy

Flux for dissolving metal oxides in welding and soldering (Gold refining).

Pest Control

Used in formulations to control ants, cockroaches, and silverfish.

Packaging Options

25kg / 50kg HDPE Bags

Standard laminated bags with inner PE liner.

1000kg Jumbo Bags

Bulk packing for large-scale industrial consumers.

Safety & Handling Protocols

Low Toxicity

Borax is generally considered safe for industrial use but can be harmful if ingested in large quantities.

  • PPE: Wear dust mask and safety goggles to prevent eye irritation from dust.
  • Storage: Keep containers tightly closed. Store away from strong reducing agents.
  • Environment: Although a micronutrient, high concentrations can be toxic to sensitive plants (Boron toxicity). Use prescribed dosages.
