Sodium perborate is a true inorganic peroxide containing a cyclic peroxide ring structure. Sodium perborate is produced commercially in both a tetrahydrate and monohydrate form.

Sodium perborate monohydrate is widely used in hot climates, or in markets where the washing is carried out in cool water. Sodium perborate monohydrate is particularly suitable for use at high ambient temperatures.

The high rate of dissolution, ideal for use in cold wash temperatures ensures a rapid release of hydrogen peroixde into solution, providing rapid generation of peracid from the bleach activators used. This ensures that the bleach works throughout the whole wash cycle.

Sodium perborate is also ideal for use in tablet formulations due to its high available oxygen content, and a low moisture content.

Sodium perborate monohydrate is an odourless, easy to use free flowing white granular powder.
