Potassium tetraborate tetrahydrate

Potassium Tetraborate Tetrahydrate is a crystalline inorganic salt used in scientific and industrial applications, particularly where its buffering properties are useful. It is also used in research involving water electrolysis and preparation of specialized carbon materials.

Potassium Tetraborate Tetrahydrate has the chemical formula K₂B₄O₇ · 4H₂O and a molecular weight of 305.50 g/mol. The tetrahydrate form contains four water molecules associated with the crystalline compound.

Applications include:

• Buffer-related laboratory systems
• Water electrolysis research
• Preparation of carbon materials
• Materials science research
• Scientific and industrial chemical processes

The intended application should determine the required concentration and handling method.

Potassium Tetraborate Tetrahydrate is known for its buffering properties and can be used in chemical systems where controlled pH conditions are required. Its specific concentration and suitability depend on the requirements of the laboratory method.

It is also known as Potassium biborate, Potassium borate tetrahydrate, or Borax potassium salt tetrahydrate. These names refer to the same hydrated potassium borate compound.

Potassium Tetraborate Tetrahydrate is supplied as a white crystalline salt. Its crystalline nature allows it to be accurately weighed for laboratory and research applications.

Before use, laboratories should consider:

• The tetrahydrate molecular form
• Required concentration
• Accurate weighing
• Intended buffer or research application
• Suitable storage conditions
• Applicable SDS recommendations

These considerations help ensure consistent preparation and appropriate laboratory handling.

Potassium Tetraborate Tetrahydrate is available in a 100 g pack size. This quantity is suitable for laboratory-scale procedures and research applications requiring this specialized borate reagent.

Laboratories can refer to the available SDS and technical documentation for relevant product, handling, storage, and safety information. Reviewing this information before use supports appropriate laboratory practices.
