Description
Borax Pentahydrate in Kenya
Product Overview
Borax Pentahydrate (Sodium Tetraborate Pentahydrate) is a refined boron compound supplied as a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula Na₂B₄O₇·5H₂O. Compared to Borax Decahydrate, it contains less water of crystallization, resulting in a higher concentration of active borate content. This makes it an excellent choice for industrial applications requiring greater efficiency, lower transportation costs, and improved formulation performance.
At Dalit Solutions, we supply premium-quality Borax Pentahydrate suitable for detergent manufacturing, water treatment, ceramics, glass production, metallurgy, agriculture, and various industrial processing applications.
