China and Turkey are the leading exporters of sodium tetraborate pentahydrate, accounting for the majority of global supply, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importers. Imports into the U.S. and EU have remained relatively stable over the past three years, with modest growth in demand from glass and ceramics manufacturers, coinciding with moderate upward pressure on sodium tetraborate pentahydrate prices.
Sodium tetraborate pentahydrate is a white, crystalline, odorless solid that is non-volatile and moderately soluble in water. It is an inorganic borate salt—specifically, the pentahydrated sodium salt of tetraboric acid—and decomposes upon heating rather than exhibiting a sharp melting point. It serves primarily as a source of boron in industrial formulations and as a key intermediate in the production of boric acid, borosilicate glasses, and specialty ceramics. Its principal application areas include glass and enamel manufacturing, flame retardants for cellulose-based materials, and as a buffering agent and stabilizer in detergents, cosmetics, and certain metalworking fluids.
Used in large amounts in making insulating fi berglass and sodium perborate bleach.
Borax is a noncombustible (an inherentfire retardant), bluish-gray or green, odorless crystallinepowder or granules.
