Naatriumaatetrihüdraat

Naatriumaatetrihüdraat is the hydrated form of sodium metaborate, with the chemical formula NaBO2·3H2O. It is an inorganic compound that appears as a white crystalline solid. This compound is soluble in water, forming an alkaline solution. It is often encountered as a component in certain industrial processes and chemical formulations. The anhydrous form, sodium metaborate (NaBO2), is also a known compound. The presence of three water molecules in the crystal lattice is indicated by the "trihydrate" designation. Naatriumaatetrihüdraat can be produced through the reaction of sodium carbonate and boric acid under controlled conditions, followed by crystallization. Its applications can include use in detergents, flame retardants, and as a flux in metallurgy. Care should be taken when handling this substance as it can be irritating to skin and eyes.
