Borax, Na2B4O7·10H2O is also known as sodium borate, an important boron compound, a mineral, and a salt of boric acid. Powdered borax is white, soft colorless crystals dissolve easily in water. Borax helps in laundry detergent work and many cleaning purposes. Borax converts some of the water molecules to hydrogen peroxide, which is whitening agent also enhance the action of bleach.
Calcium hydroxide is traditionally called slaked lime. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca(OH)2. It is a colorless crystal or white powder and is obtained when calcium oxide is mixed, or slaked with water. It has many names including hydrated lime, caustic lime, builders' lime, slack lime or pickling lime. Calcium hydroxide is used in many applications, including food preparation. Limewater is the common name for a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide.
Uses:
Ammonia or azane is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. The simplest pnictogen hydride, ammonia is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It is a common nitrogenous waste, particularly among aquatic organisms, and it contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to food and fertilizers. Ammonia is a colourless alkaline gas and is one of the most abundant nitrogen-containing compounds in the atmosphere.
Ammonium hydroxide NH4OH is the hydroxy salt of ammonium ion. It is formed when ammonia reacts with water molecules in solution. Ammonium hydroxide is a colorless aqueous solution.
Industrial Uses:
Triethanolamine (TEA) is a viscous organic compound that is both a tertiary amine and a triol. A triol is a molecule with three alcohol groups. Triethanolamine is a strong base. It is a colourless compound although samples may appear yellow because of impurities. Triethanolamine is used primarily in making surfactants, such as for emulsifier. It is a common ingredient in formulations used for both industril and consumer products.
