Product Overview
Borax AR is a high-purity analytical reagent designed for precision in laboratory applications. With a minimum assay of 99.5%, this crystalline powder ensures reliable and reproducible results in titration, buffering, and chemical synthesis. Its low impurity profile makes it ideal for sensitive analytical procedures where consistency is critical. The reagent is highly soluble in water, forming alkaline solutions that are stable under standard lab conditions. Borax AR is commonly used as a primary standard in volumetric analysis due to its well-defined stoichiometry and resistance to hygroscopicity. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet AR-grade specifications, ensuring minimal trace metal contamination and consistent performance across batches. Its versatility extends to applications requiring controlled pH environments or as a flux in certain metallurgical processes. The 500 g packaging provides an optimal balance between bulk requirements and storage convenience, maintaining product integrity throughout its shelf life when stored under recommended conditions.
FAQs
1. What is the exact purity level of Borax AR?
Borax AR maintains a minimum purity of 99.5%, verified through standardized analytical techniques to ensure compliance with analytical reagent specifications.
2. Can this borax be used for preparing standard solutions?
