Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary use of Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate?
The primary industrial and agricultural use of Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate is as a high-solubility micronutrient fertilizer delivering 20% boron content to crops. It is also extensively used as a wood preservative to protect timber from fungal decay and wood-boring insects, and as an active ingredient in commercial insecticides.
What is the molecular weight and chemical formula of Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate?
The chemical formula for Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate is $Na_2B_8O_{13} \cdot 4H_2O$. The molecular weight (or molar mass) is approximately 412.52 g/mol.
Why is Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate preferred over other borates?
Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate solubility is significantly higher than that of traditional borax or boric acid, allowing it to dissolve rapidly even in cold water. This high solubility makes it exceptionally well-suited for manufacturing liquid fertilizer sprays, wood treatment sprays, and agricultural formulations.
Is Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate an effective insecticide?
Yes, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate insecticide properties make it highly effective for controlling pests like ants, roaches, dust mites, and cockroaches. It acts as a stomach poison for insects and disrupts their metabolic pathways.
What is the boron percentage in this product?
This product features a guaranteed disodium octaborate tetrahydrate boron percentage of 20%, which is why it is commonly referred to in markets as disodium octaborate tetrahydrate boron 20 or (boron-10-20).
What are the primary applications in agriculture?
In agriculture, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate uses in agriculture focus on correcting boron deficiencies in crops. It is used as a highly bioavailable plant growth stimulant that enhances flowering, pollen germination, fruit set, and cell wall development.
Is Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate hazardous and what are the handling precautions?
While it is far safer for mammals than conventional chemical pesticides, proper handling precautions should still be observed. Avoid inhalation of dust, do not swallow, and consult the disodium octaborate tetrahydrate sds for comprehensive personal protective equipment (PPE) guidelines.
What is the common name or trade name for Di Sodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate?
It is widely recognized under commercial trade names like Solubor, Tim-bor, Bora-Care, and Polybor. Industrially, it is primarily referenced by its IUPAC name or simply as Boron 20% micronutrient powder.
