Description

White, water-soluble powder. Sodium perborate is used industrially as a bleach for Straw, Ivory, waxes, textiles, and dentures. It is also used as an antiseptic and deodorant in hand soaps. Dilute solutions of sodium perborate have been used in conservation for the removal of tea and coffee stains (Kuhn 1986).
