Borax, also known as sodium, sodium tetraborate, or disodium tetraborate, is an important boron compound, a mineral, and the salt of boric acid. It is usually a white powder consisting of soft colorless crystals that dissolve easily in water.

Borax has a wide variety of uses. It is a component of many detergents, cosmetics, and enamel glazes. It is also used to make buffer solutions in biochemistry, as a fire retardant, as an anti-fungal compound for fiberglass, as a flux in metallurgy, neutron-capture shields for radioactive sources, texturing agent in cooking, and as a precursor for other boron compounds.

Borax not only has the characteristics of heat resistance, water resistance and acid resistance, but also has strong dissolving ability. Borax turns white and expands after heating, and becomes a transparent glass ball, in which metal oxide can be dissolved and the original color of metal can be restored. This is the famous borax ball reaction. Borax can be used in the manufacture of electric K containers, in various glass products and as glaze in ceramic industry. It is used as antifreeze and anticoagulant in mining and metallurgical industry, and as electrolyte additive and welding agent in nonferrous metal industry. In addition, it is used as preservative, herbicide, soil bactericide and boride.

Usage: mainly used for glass and porcelain enamel industry. In glass industry, it can enhance transparency and heat-resistant property. In porcelain enamel products, it can make enamel not easy to fall off and with luster. It also widely used in optics glass, glass fiber, colored metal as jointing agent, cohering agent for jewelry, printing and dyeing, detergent, refined gold, cosmetics, pesticide, fertilizer, borax soap, antiseptic, antifreeze, and in pharmaceuticals as disinfectors etc. It's also one of basic raw material for making other boric compound.
