Borax Decahydrate looks simple until it hits real plant conditions. Water temperature, dissolution rate, and the borate balance you actually deliver decide whether your detergent batch stays clear and stable or whether your intermediate step drifts and needs correction. SGS & Company supply Borax Decahydrate 99% with lot traceability, documentation support for approvals, and supply planning that avoids mid month substitutions, backed by safer sourcing practices and one point coordination from Chemical Exporters in India.

About Borax Decahydrate

Borax Decahydrate is sodium tetraborate supplied with crystallisation water, used as a borate source and alkalinity buffer. In purchasing terms, the decahydrate form matters because it affects active borate per kilogram and how fast it dissolves in your makeup tank. Buyers typically evaluate assay, insoluble matter, moisture behaviour in storage, and solution clarity at the concentration they run. During quotation, COA format, test methods, and grade alignment notes can be shared for QA acceptance.

Applications

Home Care

  • Used as a buffer and builder support in detergent and cleaner formulations, where controlled alkalinity helps performance and storage stability. Teams typically select borax when they want a borate system that tolerates hard water variation and helps keep formulations consistent during seasonal water changes.

Chemical Intermediates

  • Used as a borate source in process chemistry where borate ions influence reaction behaviour, complexation, or downstream workup. Plants often evaluate dissolution behaviour and insolubles because those two factors decide whether filtration, clarity, or yield becomes a recurring issue.

Safety & Handling

  • Avoid breathing dust during charging and use goggles and gloves.
  • Keep bags tightly closed and dry to reduce caking and exposure.
  • Follow the supplied SDS and obtain special instructions before use due to reproductive toxicity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Reaching Us

Confirm the material is decahydrate and ask for the assay reporting basis. Decahydrate delivers different active borate per kilogram than lower hydrates, so using the same weight can change buffer strength and pH.
Most plants verify assay, insoluble matter, and clarity of a defined solution at your working concentration. Acceptance criteria and test methods are available on request.
Cold water, weak agitation, and fast dumping can create undissolved crystals that look like insolubles. A controlled addition rate, stronger mixing, and a fixed mixing time usually solve it more effectively than increasing the dose.
Lead time depends on stock position and dispatch planning for your lane. SGS & Company is a chemical supply distribution company based in Vadodara, and the COA, SDS, and traceability pack can be aligned during quotation. Get a Quote, subject to availability.
Haze is often a formulation interaction, not a purity issue. Borate can shift surfactant balance and can interact with hardness ions, especially at low temperature storage. Formulators usually validate clarity at the lowest storage temperature and adjust the addition order and concentration.
Keep the receiving system dry to prevent bridging and caking. Use dust-controlled transfer into a sealed dissolver. For solution contact, use corrosion-resistant materials and avoid routing through acidic cleaning lines unless the system is fully segregated and flushed.
Pricing depends on grade requirement, impurity reporting depth, liner and pallet configuration, and your monthly offtake pattern. Share your target spec and volume to Get a Quote, subject to availability.
