Anything containing borax, boric acid or sodium borates. Borates kill the living organisms that make up mold and mildew.

Borates are found in products that contain a chemical called borax. The most popular of these products is 20 Mule Team Borax. This product can be found in grocery stores. Borax can be used to kill destructive insects in the home.
I have never heard that you want them in your pool,Nor have I ever had anyone want to add any, Although Borate or Borax (Na2B4O2(H2O)10) is a low-toxicity mineral with insecticidal, fungicidal, and herbicidal properties.But I would not suggest putting them in your pool. People do want them in their pools. Please see http://www.troublefreepool.com/so-you-want-to-add-borates-to-your-pool-why-and-how-t4921.html?hilit=BORATES
Carpet Calcium carbonate, limestone, talc, lithium, borates, soda ash, feldspar
Potassium compounds other than borates, phosphates, and silicates. Masked by sodium or lithium.
High chlorine levels will make the pH in your pool high. You can add borates to help stabilize the pH level in your pool.
Aluminium borate does not have a valency. borate and aluminium have different valencies as aluminium and borate are separate elements. aluminium's valency is +3 and borates is -3
Non-silicate mineral groups include: oxides, carbonates, sulfides, sulfates, borates, halites, elemental, organic, and phosphates.
They are organised into categories. Those categories are: Database functions Date and time functions Engineering functions Financial functions Information functions Logical functions Lookup and reference functions Math and trigonometry functions Statistical functions Text functions External functions Cube functions
There are over four thousand different minerals. There are some major groups of minerals, which include groups such as oxides, silicates, carbonates, phosphates, borates, halides, sulfides, and native elements.
Boron oxide, B2O3, is acidic. It reacts slowly with water to form boric acid. When fused, (molten) it reacts readily with metal oxides to form borates.
