Percarbonate is a Carbonate based product, it's obtained by spraying it with peroxide, Hence the name PER for peroxide and Carbonate for carbonate... it becomes percarbonate after this process of super-saturation.....so....whatever oxy powder made of percarbonate you buy will have a sort of carbonate, may it be both baking soda or washing soda.
It all relies on the quality of the process in which it was made...let's call it more pure or less pure. Perborate is quite different matter and compound, unlike percarbonate the perborate is not simply an adduct with hydrogen peroxide, but is obtained by reaction of disodium tetraborate pentahydrate, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium hydroxide. Keep in mind perborate requires slightly higher temoeratures to work than percarbonate (this when additioned with TAED activators) otherwise it will work only at 140F or above. Pure "oxi bleach" do exist and it is measured in volumes, so peroxide. That mixture of the recipe is a slightly alkaline oxigen bleach solution, like mixing your oxiclean to water, actually being oxy clean made with mostly washing soda that one result less alkaline being made with baking soda.
