Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate CAS 12280-03-4, chemical formula B8H8Na2O17, from the appearance, it is a white fine powder, pure and soft. The pH value of disodium octaborate tetrahydrate is between 7-8.5, and it is neutral and alkaline. It can be mixed with most pesticides and fertilizers without acid-base neutralization reaction, affecting the effect of each other. The purity of disodium octaborate tetrahydrate produced by Unilong is extremely high, usually greater than 99.5%, which means that in this compound, the majority of the truly effective ingredients are accounted for, guaranteeing its stability and reliability in various applications. It has good solubility in cold water, this feature is in sharp contrast to many other borates, traditional borax fertilizer, such as borax, in cold water solubility is poor, often need to be heated to dissolve, and the dissolution process is cumbersome, but also prone to crystallization. Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate is completely different, whether it is in normal temperature irrigation water, or in a low temperature environment, it can quickly dissolve and form a uniform solution. It has broad application prospects in related fields, and is well deserved as the first high-tech new product in China.
Application field of disodium octaborate tetrahydrate
Green Messengers in Agriculture
Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate plays an important and indispensable role. As borax fertilizer, it is a key nutrient source for crops to thrive. Boron has a profound effect on the physiological process of plants, which can promote the growth and development of plant roots, make the roots more developed, and enhance the absorption capacity of plants for water and nutrients. In the reproductive growth stage of plants, boron element plays an irreplaceable role, it can stimulate the germination of pollen and the elongation of pollen tube, greatly improve the success rate of pollination, so as to effectively prevent the phenomenon of “bud without flower” and “flower without fruit”, and significantly improve the fruit setting rate and setting rate of crops.
In cotton planting, the rational application of borax fertilizer can increase the boll number and boll weight of cotton and improve the yield and quality of cotton. In the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, etc., the use of borax fertilizer can promote the expansion of the fruit, improve the taste and color of the fruit, make the fruit more sweet and delicious, attractive appearance. In addition, disodium tetrahydrate octoborate can also be used as a plant growth regulator to regulate the hormone balance in the plant body, enhance the plant’s stress resistance, and help plants better cope with harsh environmental conditions such as drought, high temperature and low temperature.
A “multi-faceted helper” in industry
In the industrial field, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate is widely used. It has excellent bactericidal, insecticidal and fungal protection capabilities, and is a highly effective fungicide, insecticide and fungal protection agent. It can destroy the cell structure or physiological metabolic process of bacteria, pests and fungi, so as to achieve the purpose of inhibiting or killing them. In the wood processing industry, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate is often used in the protective treatment of wood. Wood is vulnerable to microbial erosion, resulting in decay, moth and other problems, reducing the service life and value of wood. Wood treated with disodium octoborate can effectively prevent the damage of mold and termites and prolong the service life of wood. In the paper industry, it can be used as a preservative for paper, to prevent the destruction of paper by microorganisms during storage and use, and to maintain the quality and performance of paper.
Potential power in other areas
In the glass ceramic industry, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate can be used as a flux. It can reduce the melting temperature of glass and ceramics, promote the melting and uniform mixing of raw materials, and improve the quality and production efficiency of products. The glass products added with disodium octaborate tetrahydrate have better transparency, gloss and chemical stability; Ceramic products have a more delicate texture and more vivid colors. In the field of water treatment, it can be used for the purification and treatment of water quality, by reacting with some impurities or harmful substances in water, to remove impurities and purify water quality.
Precautions for storage and use
When using disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, there are many aspects that we need to pay special attention to. In the storage process, be sure to place it in a dry, cool and well-ventilated environment, to resolutely avoid direct sunlight to prevent the product from getting damp. Because once it is damp, disodium tetraborate may caking, which will not only affect its physical properties, but also may lead to the decomposition or deterioration of the active ingredients, thereby reducing its use effect. If the product is stored for a long time, it is also necessary to check regularly to see if there is moisture, deterioration and other conditions. Operators must take personal protective measures. Wear special laboratory protective clothing, wear chemical protective glasses and gloves to prevent disodium octaborate tetrahydrate from direct contact with skin and eyes. Because the compound has a certain toxicity, if accidentally swallowed or accidentally contact with the skin, eyes, etc., emergency measures should be taken immediately. For example, if it comes into contact with the skin, rinse quickly with plenty of water; In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention as soon as possible. If accidentally swallowed, should immediately induce vomiting, and promptly sent to the hospital for treatment, at the same time to notify the relevant departments in the area. In the operation process, it is necessary to always maintain a high degree of attention and strictly follow the established operating procedures to prevent safety accidents caused by negligence.
Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, this magical compound, with its high boron content, cold water instant solubility and neutral alkali characteristics, plays an irreplaceable important role in many fields such as agriculture and industry. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the deepening of research, more accurate application methods and formulas will be developed to further improve the utilization efficiency of boron and reduce resource waste.
