What is Sodium Perborate?
Sodium Perborate is an inorganic compound with the general formula NaBO3·4H2O. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. When dissolved, it releases hydrogen peroxide, which is known for its oxidising properties, making it particularly useful in various detergent formulations. Additionally, it decomposes gently to release its active oxygen content, which aids in removing stains and whitening fabrics.
