Application :
- Sodium Borate Decahydrate ACS is used as part of a process (as a flux) meant to eliminate the need for mercury in the gold extraction process, although it cannot directly replace mercury.
- It can be used as a catalyst in the Regioselective thiolysis of 1,2-epoxides by using thiols to synthesize ?-hydroxy sulfides, Hetero-Michael addition of thiols with electron-deficient olefins to synthesize corresponding ?-adducts, and Solvent-free Biginelli reaction to synthesize 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones.
- It can also be used as an additive to prepare polypyrrole-borax composites with high dielectric properties.
- It has many uses as in detergents, cosmetics and enamel glazes.
