What Is Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate?

Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate is an inorganic borate with CAS number 12280-03-4 and molecular formula Na₂B₈O₁₃·4H₂O. It is also called DOT. Manufacturers value it as a source of boron that can be incorporated into suitable water-based formulations.

The right grade depends on the finished product. A fertilizer manufacturer, wood treatment formulator and industrial cleaner manufacturer may each need different particle size, boron content, documentation or regulatory status. Buyers should review the specification for the exact grade offered.

Uses of Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate

Fertilizer and Plant Nutrition Manufacturing

DOT can be used as a boron source in selected fertilizer products. Manufacturers may incorporate suitable grades into liquid fertilizers, soluble powders and other formulations intended to supply boron to crops.

Boron is a plant micronutrient, but the amount required depends on the crop and application. Fertilizer buyers should specify the boron content, particle size and dissolution performance needed for their product. They should also confirm that the offered grade meets their formulation and labeling requirements.

Wood Treatment Products

Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate is an active ingredient in certain registered wood preservative products used to protect treated wood against specified insects and decay fungi. Manufacturers developing wood treatment products should identify the intended use and check the applicable U.S. registration and label requirements.

The chemical name alone does not make a bulk DOT grade an EPA-registered pesticide. If your intended use involves pesticidal claims, confirm the registration status and permitted uses of the finished product before purchasing raw material for that purpose.

Cellulose and Flame-Retardant Formulations

Selected DOT grades are used in formulations for cellulosic materials, including cellulose insulation, paper and some wood-based products. Borates can contribute to flame-retardant performance in an appropriately designed treatment system.

Manufacturers should test the proposed grade in their own formulation and check any fire-performance standards that apply to the finished product. The amount used and treatment method will depend on the material being processed.

Industrial Cleaning Products

DOT can also be evaluated as an ingredient in selected industrial cleaning formulations. Depending on the formulation, it may support cleaning performance or help control other product properties. Cleaning product manufacturers should share the intended formulation and quality parameters when requesting a grade.

Choosing the Right DOT Grade

When comparing disodium octaborate tetrahydrate suppliers, check more than the CAS number. Important purchasing details may include boron content, particle size, dissolution behavior, moisture, packaging and quality documents.

For fertilizer production, a grade that disperses or dissolves efficiently may be important. For other applications, the buyer may place greater emphasis on physical form or a particular impurity limit. Provide your current specification if you are qualifying an alternative source.

Product names such as Solubor and Polybor refer to particular suppliers’ products. Their published specifications and certifications should not be assumed to apply to every DOT grade.

Bulk Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate Supply for U.S. Buyers

Chemical Bull supports enquiries from fertilizer manufacturers, wood treatment formulators, insulation producers and industrial chemical buyers looking to purchase DOT in bulk for the USA.

To receive a relevant offer, send your application, required specification, order quantity, packaging preference and U.S. delivery destination. If your purchase requires particular documents or regulatory information, state that in the initial enquiry so the offered grade can be reviewed.

Quality Documents and Handling

Before ordering, request the product specification, certificate of analysis and safety data sheet (SDS/MSDS) for the exact material offered. Compare the stated boron content and other quality parameters with your production requirements.

Your receiving and production teams should follow the supplied SDS when handling and storing the material. For a new application or supplier, conduct a formulation trial before approving the grade for routine manufacturing.
