FAQ's of Borax Anhydrous:
Q: How is Borax Anhydrous typically applied in industrial processes?
A: Borax Anhydrous is commonly dissolved in water to form a working solution, which can then be used as a flux in metallurgy, an additive in detergents, glass, and ceramics production, and a water softener in industrial cleaning.
Q: What are the primary commercial uses of Borax Anhydrous?
A: Borax Anhydrous finds primary usage in glass and ceramics manufacturing, metallurgy, detergents, fire retardants, cosmetics, and various chemical synthesis processes due to its high purity and stability.
Q: What is the standard packaging for Borax Anhydrous, and can it be customized?
A: The product is generally packed in 25 kg or 50 kg bags, as well as jumbo bags. Packaging can be customized according to specific customer requirements to ensure safety and ease of handling during transport.
Q: Where should Borax Anhydrous be stored to maintain its quality?
A: Store Borax Anhydrous in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong acids and water-reactive materials to preserve its two-year shelf life and maintain product integrity.
Q: When is the best point in an industrial process to introduce Borax Anhydrous?
A: Borax Anhydrous should be added at points requiring pH regulation, fluxing, or cleaning action, typically early in glass or detergent production, or at the specified metallurgical stage for optimal effect.
Q: What are the safety considerations when handling Borax Anhydrous?
A: Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eye/face protection as Borax Anhydrous may cause serious eye irritation. Although non-poisonous under normal handling, proper precautions are recommended during use.
Q: How do the guaranteed values for B2O3 and Na2O benefit industrial buyers?
A: Guaranteed values for B2O3 (68.3-69.4%) and Na2O (30.41-30.90%) ensure consistent chemical performance and reliability, which are crucial for industries requiring accurate formulations.
