Soda Ash
Soda Ash or Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is also known as bicarbonate of soda, soda crystals, and washing soda. It is one of the most important industrial chemicals that is widely used in the production of other alkaline products, sodium salts, etc. It is the common name of anhydrous sodium carbonate, which is used industrially. Sodium carbonate is actually the sodium salt of carbonic acid, which is normally a white solid. It is produced on an industrial scale through the Solvay process using ammonia, limestone and salt.
Soda Ash Applications
Soda Ash is one of the materials that have various applications in different industries. Among the uses of sodium carbonate, we can mention: inGlass making, in Production of chemicals, in detergent industries, in paper production. in Production of soap and detergent, in Water softening, in Municipal water tanks, It is used in homes as a water softener for washing clothes. in Dyeing, Soda Ash in Food industry. in Electrolysis, in Taxidermy, in Chemistry laboratories, in Toothpaste, in Brick making, in Textile industry, in Petrochemical and crude oil refining, in Refinement of vegetable oils, in Desulfurization of smoke.
Packing
It is packing in 50 kg sacks and based on the customer demand sacks can be put in a jumbo bag. Also, packing in jumbo bag is possible.
