Description:
Sodium perborate (GenAqua) is an oxidative preservative that is used in Genteal lubricating eye drops (Novartis Ophthalmics, East Hanover, NJ). With topical application, sodium perborate is converted by catalase to water, oxygen, and hydrogen peroxide. Its antimicrobial properties are attributed to oxidization of cell membranes, membrane-bound enzymes, and disruption of protein synthesis. Also, sodium perborate has demonstrated efficacy against Aspergillus niger.
Application:
Sodium perborate is an active form of oxygen used to whiten, brighten, clean, and deodorize. Sodium perborate may be used in a large number of cleaning products, such as laundry detergents, automatic dishwasher detergents, oxygen powder bleaches, fabric softeners, hand dishwashing detergents, all-purpose cleaners, air fresheners, and stain removers. Products like Oxi-Clean are almost entirely made up of this substance.
Transportation:
Sodium Perborate Tetrahydrate is not regulated as dangerous chemical for transportation, but Sodium Perborate Monohydarte is classified as oxidier and the newly allocated UN number as 3377 (as per IMDG CODE) from July 2003.
