Borax decahydrate, also known as sodium borate, is a naturally occurring mineral composed of sodium, boron, oxygen, and water. It is a white, odorless powder that dissolves easily in water, and has a wide range of uses, including as a laundry detergent booster, a multipurpose cleaner, and as a component in the production of glass, ceramics, and enamel. Borax has antifungal and insecticidal properties and is also used in certain industrial applications such as in the production of fiberglass, as a flux in metallurgy, and as a fire retardant. It is considered safe when used as directed, but can be toxic if ingested in large quantities.
