Description

Calcium Perborate is a stable, solid inorganic compound widely recognized as a powerful oxidizing agent and a source of active oxygen. This property makes it a highly effective and versatile component in formulations requiring controlled bleaching and disinfection. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the detergent, cleaning product, and personal care industries seeking efficient, solid-state peroxygen sources. The compound is supplied under the identifier CAS NO 54630-47-6.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: A key bleaching agent in powdered laundry detergents, automatic dishwashing powders, and industrial & institutional (I&I) cleaners.
• Dental & Oral Care Products: Used in tooth-whitening powders and denture cleansers for its effervescent and mild bleaching action.
• Hair Care Products: Employed as a gentle oxidizing agent in certain hair lightening and coloring preparations.
• Textile & Pulp Bleaching: Serves as a bleaching agent in low-temperature textile processing and in some pulp bleaching applications.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a convenient solid oxidant in various chemical reactions in laboratory and industrial settings.
• Disinfectant & Sanitizer Formulations: Utilized for its antimicrobial properties in products designed for surface disinfection.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Perborate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, active oxygen content, and physical properties that meet or exceed typical industry specifications for detergent and oxidizing agent grades. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent caking and decomposition. Incompatible with strong acids, reducing agents, and organic materials. Observe local regulations for oxidizing substances.
