Borax, also known as sodium borate, is a chemical compound with the formula Na2B4O7.10H2O. This compound has several important applications spanning across a wide range of industries. For example, borax is used in several cosmetic products and detergents. It is also used in certain enamel glazes. In the field of biochemistry, borax is often employed for the preparation of buffer solutions. Borax is known to serve as a precursor to several commercially important compounds of boron, the most notable of which is boric acid (which is widely used as an insecticide).

It is not uncommon for borax to be used in photographic developers as an alkali.

Borax is also used as a flux in certain metallurgic processes.

This compound is known to serve as a cross-linking agent during the preparation of slime. The field of biochemistry is known to make extensive use of borax for the production of buffer solutions. Borax is also used in the neutron capturing shields for the safe storage, transportation, and use of radioactive substances. This compound is also known to act as an anti-fungal agent and can, therefore, be employed to kill fungi or inhibit their growth. It can also be noted that borax has the ability to serve as a flame retardant. Several cosmetic products, enamel glazes, and detergents are known to contain borax.
