About the Product

  • Light Sodium Carbonate

    Light sodium carbonate is a white, lightweight powder known for its high solubility and soft texture, making it ideal for applications requiring quick dissolution. This type of soda ash is commonly used in the detergent industry, chemical manufacturing, buffer production, and water treatment. Its low bulk density facilitates easy handling, blending, and dosing in production lines.

  • Dense Sodium Carbonate

    Dense sodium carbonate has a coarser granulation and higher bulk density, making it suitable for industries that require uniform feeding in large volumes. Its primary application is in the glass industry, where it is used in combination with silica and lime for glass production. The physical characteristics of this product help prevent dust formation during handling.

Applications of Sodium carbonate

  • Glass Industry

    Sodium carbonate is used as a primary component in glass production and, by lowering the melting point of silica, helps save energy and improve the melting process.

  • Detergent Production

    In the production of various household and industrial detergents, soda ash is used as an alkaline agent to enhance cleaning power and assist in removing grease and stains.

  • Chemical Industries

    In the chemical industry, sodium carbonate is used in the production of sodium bicarbonate, phosphates, silicates, and as a buffering agent to regulate pH in various reactions.

  • Water and Wastewater Treatment

    Soda ash is used in water treatment to neutralize acids, reduce water hardness, and aid in the precipitation of metallic impurities.

Other Applications

Food Industry, Paper Manufacturing, Textile and Tanning, Metalworking and Refining, Ceramics and Tile Production, Soap and Hygiene Product Manufacturing.
