Is this the same boric acid as in twenty mule team borax laundry booster?

They are similar, but not the same. Borax and boric acid are both chemical compounds that contain the element boron. The chemical name for borax is sodium tetraborate decahydrate, and the molecular formula is B4Na2O7*10H2O. The molecular formula for boric acid is BH3O3. There are many similarities between borax and boric acid, such as appearance, toxicity, uses and even some physical properties. Borax is used to artificially age wood, to fireproof fabrics and wood, in soldering preparations, in glazes and enamels, for curing and preserving skins, in the manufacture of glass, in cleaning products, as a corrosion inhibitor in antifreeze, in adhesives, in metal alloys and to prevent mold on citrus. Boric acid is used to weatherproof wood, in the manufacture of cements, as a nuclear-reactor cooling water additive, as an insecticide, as a preservative, in welding flux, to impregnate wicks, in the manufacture of soap, in heat-resistant glass and in the manufacturing processes of other boron compounds.

From the research I have done, it is not in this formula. I have used this brand for several years and am quite happy with it.

I also use this and am looking for a less expensive equivalent, I noticed the address on jars for both products look the same so I checked the full ingredients on the Viralys website and found the same ingredients as in the Tomlyn product, see for yourself... http://vetoquinolus.naccvp.com/product/basic/view/1005047 and... http://www.tomlyn.com/products/cat/vitamins-immune-support/immune-support-l-lysine-powder (find the Lysine powder)

They use Boric Acid as a flame retardant. It is in the product description.

The other 1% is silica. Source: http://www.btusupply.com/p-182517-16oz-boric-acid.aspx . Sears has the silica listed as well. It's to prevent clumping and caking of the boric acid.

Not according to the label for Move Free Ultra triple action. The label says it contains type II collagen, Hyaluronic acid, and boron.

not that I know, 20 mule team borax, or boraxo, is the powder for killing roaches, watch around all animals, will kill and if not make mighty sick. so if use put it in an inconspicuous place. Especially if you know where roaches are or running.

Not sure but I doubt it. This is a powder and although it has the same chemical properties, there must be a difference between this and the salves and ointments for medicinal purposes. From what I read, boric acid has a natural way of suffocating the roaches. By the way, Tat Roach motels are far more effective and cleaner.

Its "the same" as in the same type of detergent (natural, no additives, best for cloth diapers, etc.), but its not the same detergent.

No - Borax is the basic mineral that is mined from the ground, and it is then refined through processing into boric acid. Borax such as you would purchase and use in the washing of clothes is not refined as much nor ground as fine as boric acid, and it is not labeled for use as a pesticide.

yes it is 20% acetic acid. It is an effective product, but almost not cost-effective, since it is used undiluted.

Absolutely not! If that's the intention it does not compare. That's what I used to take and it has been taken off the market. Can't find anything comparable to it.

The two products have totallydifferent ingredients (BFI Powder: boric acid, magnesium carbonate, talc, bismuth formic iodide, bismuth subgallate, zinc phenolsulfonate, potassium alum, thymol, menthol, eucalyptol; Columbia Powder: zinc oxide and phenol). Having said that, and not knowing the purpose that you want it for, I can say that both my wife and I swear by Columbia Antiseptic powder for virtually all our skin problems. It seems to cure allergic reactions, heat rashes, contact dermatitis and other skin problems in just a day or so. The only problem we have with it is that it's rather expensive, and very few people carry it. Thank God, Amazon does.

Yes, I think it is similar to Oxyclean. I use both products, I like to change from one to the other.

No, it is your detergent. It is also HE compatible for front load washers. They work great and laundry smells so good.

Only as a detergent booster..I combine this soda with borax and shaved Fels Naptha bar soap to make laundry detergent. Washing soda should not be confused with washing powder, which is a powdered soap used as a detergent; Washing soda when added to detergent helps remove stains and softens the water..

Yes it is. I really likes it. Another good translucide powder us one by Mary Kay, also sold on Amazon.
