Sodium perborate is a chemical compound whose chemical formula may be written NaH2BO4, Na2H4B2O8, or, more properly, [Na+]2·[B2O4(OH)4]2−. Its name is sometimes abbreviated as PBS.
The compound is commonly encountered in anhydrous form or as a hexahydrate (commonly called “monohydrate” or PBS-1 and “tetrahydrate” or PBS-4, after the early assumption that NaBO
3 would be the anhydrous form). They are both white, odorless, water-soluble solids.
This salt is widely used in laundry detergents, as one of the peroxide-based bleaches.
Sodium perborate serves as a stable source of active oxygen in many detergents, laundry detergents, cleaning products, and laundry bleaches. It is a less aggressive bleach than sodium hypochlorite and other chlorine-based bleaches, causing less degradation to dyes and textiles. Borates also have some non-oxidative bleaching properties. Sodium perborate releases oxygen rapidly at temperatures over 60 °C. To make it active at lower temperatures (40–60 °C), one must mix it with a suitable activator, typically tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED).
Sodium perborate is also present in some tooth bleaching formulas for nonvital root-treated teeth. The compound is inserted in the root canal and left in place for an extended period of time to allow it to diffuse into the tooth and bleach stains from the inside out. However, this use has been banned in the European Union.
The compound has antiseptic properties and can act as a disinfectant. It is also used as a “disappearing” preservative in some brands of eye drops.
Sodium perborate is also used as an oxidizing reagent in organic synthesis. For example, it converts thioethers into sulfoxides and sulfones.
