Sodium Tetraborate Market

Sodium Tetraborate Market at a Glance

Sodium Tetraborate is also known as Borax, Sodium Borate, or Disodium Tetraborate. Sodium Tetraborate, is a mineral that occurs naturally and is a source of the element boron which is considered as an essential element, which is an inexpensive, and effective antiseptic, antifungal and insecticidal treatment.

Sodium Tetraborate is naturally occurred in evaporate deposits that are produced by the repeated evaporation of seasonal lakes. Sodium Tetraborate can be produsynthetically from other boron compounds. The naturally occurring sodium Tetraborate is refined by the process of re-crystallization.

Sodium Tetraborate is a mineral, an important boron compound, and a salt of boric acid. Sodium Tetraborate is widely used and is a component in cosmetics, enamel glazes, and detergents. These are also used to make buffer solutions in biochemistry, as a fire retardant, and as an anti-fungal compound.

Global Sodium Tetraborate Market Dynamics: Adequate Amount of Sodium Tetraborate Essential for Plant Growth

Sodium Tetraborate is necessary in small amounts for the plant growth, which is one of the 16 essential nutrients for plants. However, in a larger quantity it is harmful for the plants. For instance, for peaches 1 ppm is required but more than 5 ppm is toxic for the plant. Moreover, a sign of deficiency is noted in plants, the boron supplements can be applied. Another major driver, surging the demand for sodium Tetraborate is they can be used as a non-toxic & as non-specific herbicides.

Sodium Tetraborate is non-toxic to animals. Anything above 2g is considered non-toxic, and sodium Tetraborate is only two to three times as toxic as aspirin. Sodium Tetraborate is also used as food additive in few countries, but these are also banned in the U.S. Owing to this, certain foods such as caviar that are produced for being sold in the U.S. contain high levels of salt to help in preservation and longer shelf life.

Sodium Tetraborate has many uses and one of them being a food ingredient. Sodium Tetraborate adds a firm rubbery texture to the food and even are added as a food preservative. These are also used in oriental cooking for mostly improving its texture properties. Moreover, in Indonesia these are a common, and forbidden additive in foods such as noodles, meat balls, and steamed rice. The countries

Directorate of Consumers Protection also warns the risk of liver cancer with high a consumption over a period of time.
