Sodium Carbonate

Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), molecular weight 105.99. The purity of the chemical is more than 99.5% (mass fraction), also known as soda ash, but it is classified as salt, not alkali. Also known as soda or soda ash in international trade. It is an important inorganic chemical raw material, mainly used in the production of flat glass, glass products and ceramic glaze. It is also widely used in domestic washing, acid neutralization and food processing.

English alias: Sodium carbonate anhydrous; Sodium carbonate solution; soda ash; disodium carbonate; Sodium carbonate-12C, 13C-depleted; calcined soda; Carbonic acid disodium salt; Sodium carbonate,high-purity; Sodium carbonate,dense; SODA ASH LIGHT

Soda ash dense is the trade name for sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃).

It is synthetically produced in large quantities from salt (sodium chloride) and limestone by a method known as the Solvay process.

The pure product appears as a while, odorless powder with a strong alkaline taste.

It has high hygroscopicity. It can be easily dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution with moderate alkalinity.

Sodium carbonate has wide applications in various kinds of fields around the world.

One of most important applications of sodium carbonate is for the manufacturing of glass. Based on statistics information, about half of the total production of sodium carbonate is used for the manufacturing of glass.

During the production of glass, sodium carbonate acts as a flux in the melting of silica.

In addition, as a strong chemical base, it is used in the manufacturing of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner.

In addition, it can also be used for tissue dige
