Transport classification per the UN Model Regulations / 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table. Confirm against the grade-specific SDS (Section 14) before shipping.
Sodium perborate monohydrate (CAS 10332-33-9) is a solid peroxygen (peroxoborate) oxidizer that releases hydrogen peroxide and active oxygen in water. PubChem classifies it as an oxidizing agent, and it is used as an oxygen-bleach source in detergents and cleaning products. The monohydrate carries a higher active-oxygen content by weight and dissolves faster than the tetrahydrate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sodium perborate monohydrate used for?
It is a solid peroxygen (peroxoborate) oxidizer used as an oxygen-bleach source in laundry and cleaning detergents. It also serves as a general oxidizing agent and as a peroxide-releasing component of hard-surface cleaners. RawSource supplies the monohydrate (MH) grade for these industrial bleaching applications.
What is the difference between sodium perborate monohydrate and tetrahydrate?
The monohydrate (CAS 10332-33-9) carries a higher active-oxygen content by weight and dissolves faster than the tetrahydrate. That makes the MH grade favored where rapid dissolution or compact active-oxygen loading matters. Specify MH versus tetrahydrate on your order.
How does sodium perborate work in water?
In water it releases hydrogen peroxide and active oxygen, which is what drives its bleaching and oxidizing action. PubChem classifies it as an oxidizing agent. This active-oxygen release is the basis for its use in oxygen-bleach detergent systems.
What is the UN number and HS code for sodium perborate monohydrate?
It ships under UN 3377 (sodium perborate monohydrate) and classifies under HS 2840.30 (peroxoborates/perborates). As an oxidizer it has specific DOT shipping requirements, so confirm classification and packaging against the current SDS before transport. RawSource provides the SDS with every order.
What is the cost of bulk sodium perborate monohydrate?
Bulk pricing depends on grade, order volume, and packaging. Request a current quote from RawSource with your target quantity and we will return delivered pricing along with a CoA and SDS. We do not quote fixed list prices online.
