Gerard,
The German term for sodium is "Natrium". Could this be the reason the
people you have been in contact with did not find it?
I got "sodium metaborate tetrahydrate" from Fluka, works fine with pyro.
By the way, I develop in trays, and seeing this endless string about tubes
and motor drives and what not, I think I am going to stay with my trays for
the time being.
