Also known as Perboric Acid Sodium Salt Tetrahydrate, this white, odorless compound takes a powder crystalline form. It is water soluble and created when sodium metaborate reacts with hydrogen peroxide to give hydrated sodium perborate. With antiseptic, cleansing and deodorizing properties, this chemical acts as an oxidizing reagent in organic synthesis. Sodium Perborate Tetrahydrate is stable and incompatible with heavy metal salts, strong reducing agents, strong acids and organic material.
