Sodium perborate (PBS) is a white, odorless, water-soluble chemical compound with the chemical compositionNaBO3. It serves as a source of active oxygen in many detergents, laundry detergents, cleaning products, and laundrybleaches.[1] It is also present in some tooth bleaching formulas. It 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 a less aggressive bleach than sodium hypochlorite, causing less degradation to dyes and textiles. Borates also have some non-oxidative bleaching properties.
