Sodium perborate monohydrate

Sodium perborate monohydrate (CAS 10332-33-9) is a stable, water-soluble oxidizing salt used industrially as a bleaching and antimicrobial agent.

Where is Sodium perborate monohydrate used?

• Textile and laundry processing: bleaches natural and synthetic fibers without the fiber damage associated with chlorine-based alternatives
• Personal care: tooth-whitening formulations, denture cleansers, and oxidative hair color products
• Pulp and paper: bleaching agent to achieve target brightness levels while managing effluent impact
• Water treatment and industrial disinfection: biocide effective against bacteria, fungi, and algae in recirculating systems
• It releases active oxygen upon dissolution, enabling controlled bleaching and disinfection.

Good to know: Its lower water content compared to the tetrahydrate form makes it preferred where concentrated active oxygen delivery is required.

Commercial specifications

• Technical grade for industrial bleaching and cleaning; higher-purity grades meeting specifications relevant to personal care
• Packaging: multi-wall bags to bulk quantities
