Unlike percarbonate and perphosphate, perborate is not just an Addition Compound of peroxide, but contains true peroxygen bonds. This makes the material more stable, safer for handling and storage. The monohydrate form dissolves better than the tetrahydrate and has higher heat stability; it is prepared by heating the tetrahydrate. Sodium perborate undergoes Hydrolysis in contact with water, producing Hydrogen Peroxide and Borate . It serves as a source of Active Oxygen in many Detergent s, Laundry Detergent s, Cleaning Product s, and laundry Bleach es. It is also present in some Tooth Bleaching formulas. It has Antiseptic properties and can act as a Disinfectant . Sodium perborate is a less aggressive bleach than Sodium Hypochlorite , causing less degradation to Dye s and Textile s. Borates also have some non-oxidative bleaching properties. Sodium perborate releases oxygen rapidly at temperatures over 60 °C. To make it active at lower temperatures (40-60 °C), it has to be mixed with a suitable activator, typically Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED). Due to the negative environmental effect of waste Borate s, sodium perborate is increasingly being replaced in some applications with Sodium Percarbonate . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
