It does dissociate well, but we're not talking sodium hydroxide, which is a strong alkaline with a pH of nearly 13. Borax is also a decent surfactant which is why I understand it's used in laundry detergents. It dissolves readily. Borax can be used as a pesticide. * Yes it is safe for the environment. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral and consists of water, sodium, boron and oxygen.
