Sodium Perborate

Sodium perborate is a white, free-flowing crystalline compounds soluble in water. Sodium Perborate is a stable, solid source of active oxygen.
Sodium perborate exists in the anhydrous , mono, tri and tetrahydrate forms (mono and tetrahydrate forms are important commercially). Sodium perborate tetrahydrate is prepared by reaction of sodium borate with hydrogen peroxide. Sodium perborate releases back hydrogen peroxide, if dissolved in water. Its properties in aqueous solution are practically similar to them of a solution of hydrogen peroxide. Accordingly, sodium perborate is considered as a solid form of hydrogen peroxide used as a strong oxidizing agent in various industry including in detergent.
