Potassium pentaborate tetrahydrate

Description:
Potassium pentaborate tetrahydrate, with the CAS number 12229-13-9, is an inorganic compound characterized by its crystalline structure and solubility in water. It consists of potassium ions and pentaborate anions, with the formula K2B5O10·4H2O, indicating the presence of four water molecules of hydration. This compound typically appears as a white to colorless solid and is known for its applications in various fields, including glass manufacturing, ceramics, and as a flux in metallurgy. Its boron content contributes to its utility in enhancing the properties of materials, such as improving thermal stability and chemical resistance. Potassium pentaborate tetrahydrate is also recognized for its role in agriculture as a micronutrient source for plants, particularly in boron-deficient soils. The compound is generally stable under standard conditions, but care should be taken to handle it properly, as with all chemical substances, to avoid potential hazards associated with exposure or ingestion.
