Sodium Perborate Supplier in Malaysia (PBS-4 and PBS-1)
- Also known as
- PBS-4
- PBS-1
- PBS
- Sodium Peroxoborate
Sodium perborate supplier for detergent blenders, textile mills, oral care manufacturers and industrial formulators in Malaysia. Traded as PBS-4 in its tetrahydrate form and PBS-1 as the monohydrate, it is a white free-flowing granule or powder that releases hydrogen peroxide once it dissolves. That makes it a solid way to carry peroxide chemistry into a dry blend.
Hydrate choice is the real buying decision. The tetrahydrate dissolves faster and remains the traditional detergent bleach, while the monohydrate carries more active oxygen per kilogram and stands up better to heat, which suits compact powders and hotter processes. Particle size, purity limits and the active oxygen minimum are the other details worth stating on an enquiry.
Typical uses run from laundry powders, automatic dishwash formulations and institutional cleaners to textile bleaching, denture and oral care tablets, hair and cosmetic bleaching, electroplating baths and mild solid oxidation in synthesis. Sodium perborate contains boron, so a plant working to an effluent boron limit or reformulating away from boron should factor that in. Sodium percarbonate, borax and boric acid are separate products with their own pages.
Send the hydrate, active oxygen requirement, granulation, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Sodium Perborate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium perborate tetrahydrate (PBS-4) | white free-flowing granules | — | The traditional detergent bleach and the higher-volume hydrate. It dissolves faster than the monohydrate, which suits laundry powders and cleaning products dosed into shorter or cooler wash cycles. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium perborate monohydrate (PBS-1) | white free-flowing granules | — | Carries more active oxygen per kilogram than the tetrahydrate and is more thermally stable, so it is chosen for compact detergent powders where dosing volume is limited and for higher-temperature processes. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Detergent and technical grade, granulation to suit the blend | granular or powder | — | Particle size is matched to the rest of a dry blend so the perborate meters accurately and does not segregate in the bag. State the granulation or sieve range your blending line works to. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Higher-purity sodium perborate | white powder | — | For denture cleaning tablets, oral care products and pharmaceutical or cosmetic formulation, where purity limits rather than bleaching power drive the specification. State the limits and documentation you work to. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Sodium Perborate applications
Safety and handling
Hold sodium perborate in sealed packaging inside a dry, shaded store with reasonable ventilation, clear of the floor, and keep acids, reducing agents and anything that will burn elsewhere in the warehouse. Absorbed damp is the usual reason a batch later tests weaker than expected, and metal contamination picked up from dirty handling equipment has the same effect. Work to the safety data issued for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about sodium perborate
Should I specify tetrahydrate or monohydrate?
Tetrahydrate dissolves faster and is the traditional detergent bleach, so it suits shorter and cooler wash cycles. Monohydrate carries more active oxygen per kilogram and is more thermally stable, which makes it the usual choice for compact powders and higher-temperature processes. Send the formulation duty and we will quote the hydrate that fits.
What is the difference between sodium perborate and sodium percarbonate?
They are different products. Both release hydrogen peroxide in water, but perborate is a boron-containing peroxoborate while percarbonate is a carbonate peroxyhydrate that leaves soda ash behind. Percarbonate has its own catalogue page, so order whichever material your formulation specifies rather than treating them as one item.
Does the boron content matter?
For some buyers it decides the purchase. Sodium perborate puts boron into the effluent and into the finished formulation, so a plant working to a boron discharge limit, or reformulating away from boron, needs to know that before it commits. If that is your situation, say so and the enquiry can cover boron-free alternatives as well.
How is sodium perborate specified on an enquiry?
By hydrate first, then by active oxygen content, particle size or sieve range, and any purity limits for oral care or pharmaceutical work. Active oxygen is the value basis, so state the minimum your specification requires and it is confirmed against the quoted grade rather than assumed.
Is it a powder or granules?
Most traded material is white free-flowing granules, and powder grades exist for formulations that need them. Granules are easier on volumetric dosing equipment and kinder to an operator charging by hand, but a granule sized wrongly against the rest of a dry blend will separate out during storage and transport. Give the sieve range your blending line is set up for.
How should sodium perborate be stored so it holds strength?
Sealed packaging, in a dry shaded store with some ventilation and nothing combustible or acidic nearby. Absorbed moisture is the usual reason a batch later assays lower than expected, and metal contamination from shared handling equipment does the same, so keep scoops and transfer bins dedicated to this material.
Which industries buy sodium perborate?
Detergent and powdered bleach blenders, automatic dishwash formulators, textile bleachers, denture and oral care manufacturers, hair and cosmetic formulators, institutional cleaning producers, metal finishers and chemical manufacturers using it as a mild solid oxidant.
What does a sodium perborate price enquiry need?
Give the hydrate, active oxygen requirement, granulation, quantity and delivery location, and the price is quoted with a stated validity period. Compare quotations on cost per kilogram of active oxygen, since the tetrahydrate and the monohydrate deliver different amounts per kilogram.
