ZO MULE TEAM <br /> Neolbor <br /> Borax Pentahydrate <br /> Product Profile Neobor is the most common form of sodium borate used in industry. Consisting of <br /> white crystalline granules or powder it is mildly alkaline in solution.The advantages <br /> of Neobor compared with borax he in the lower transportation, handling and storage <br /> Na2B407•5H2O costs of a more concentrated product. Neobor is stable under ordinary conditions, <br /> Sodium Tetraborate free-flowing, and easily handled by air or mechanical conveying. <br /> Pentahydrate <br /> CAS Number 12179-04-3 <br /> TSCA Number 1330-43-4 Glass Type Thermal Melting Melting Glass Surface Chemical <br /> Expansion Temperature Rate Viscosity Tension Resistance <br /> Technical Grade: Insulation Fiber Glass <br /> Granular and Powder (Glass wool) ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Textile Fiber Glass V/ V/ V/ V/ V/(E Glass) <br /> Borosilicate Glass ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Glazes and Enamels ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ <br /> Applications and Benefits <br /> Glasses and fiber glass <br /> Neobor serves as a source of boric oxide (BSO) in many compositions, including <br /> insulation fiber glass, textile fiber glass and borosilicate glasses (heat resistant, <br /> illumination, cookware, medical/cosmetic containers,hollow/solid microspheres, <br /> optical lenses and sealing glass). It also provides a source of sodium, and is used in <br /> combination with boric acid where it is necessary to control the sodium to boron <br /> ratio in the glass. <br /> The function of Bz03 in glass making is that of both flux and network former. It <br /> controls the melt and influences the final product properties. <br /> In fiber glass,Bz03 assists"fiberizire and gives durability in use. In borosilicate <br /> glasses,it gives a low coefficient of thermal expansion (thus providing resistance to <br /> heat and thermal shock),and improves chemical durability. <br /> Glazes and enamels <br /> Neobor increases the strength, scratch resistance, and chemical resistance of <br /> ceramic wares such as wall and floor tiles, tableware and porcelain, and of <br /> enamelled appliances. By controlling the coefficient of expansion, B4O3 facilitates <br /> thermal fit between glaze and body; it also reduces melting temperatures, inhibits <br /> devitrification, and provides for a smooth, even finish. <br /> Detergents and bleach <br /> Neobor is used in the manufacture of sodium perborate, the principal bleaching <br /> agent in laundry powders. It also acts as a water softener and pH buffer, in the <br /> wash solution, and assists in soil removal. In liquid detergents it stabilizes enzymes. <br /> BO/ZWIRV-u�` <br /> %gy <br /> I f4 <br />
