Sodium Carbonate Anhydrous 5kg

Sodium Carbonate Anhydrous (soda ash) is a versatile alkali used mainly for making glass, detergents, and paper, and for water softening, but also as a pH adjuster, in chemical manufacturing, food processing, and even as a lab reagent. Its strong alkalinity helps it clean, neutralise acids, and remove water hardness, making it crucial in industrial cleaning, textile dyeing, and refining metals like aluminium.

Key Uses:
Sodium Carbonate Anhydrous 5kg
Glass Manufacturing: Acts as a flux, lowering silica's melting point for easier glass production, its largest use.
Soaps & Detergents: A key ingredient in dry cleaners and powdered soaps, it softens water and boosts cleaning power by converting fats to soluble soaps.
Water Treatment: Softens hard water by precipitating calcium and magnesium ions, and adjusts pH.
Pulp & Paper: Used in processing wood pulp for paper.
Chemicals: A precursor for other sodium compounds like sodium silicates and borax.
Textiles & Dyeing: Helps fix dyes and improve penetration into fabrics.
Food Industry: Used as a processing aid and pH regulator.
Laboratory: A standard reagent for acid standardization and analysis.
Metal Refining: Used in aluminum refining.

Other Applications:
Household cleaning agent (washing soda).
Taxidermy.
Catalyst modification in certain chemical reactions.
