Soda ash
Sodium carbonate, anhydrous sodium carbonate.
Represents colorless crystals or white powder.
In Russia, there are 2 types of soda ash brands : grade A and grade B, which differ in their properties.
Due to its properties, soda ash has found wide application in all areas of industry.
Applications:
⇒ Used in the production of all types of glass products (crystal, fiberglass, glass blocks, bottles, dishes, etc.)
⇒ In the soap industry
⇒ As part of detergents
⇒ When separating pulp in papermaking
⇒ In the production of paints and varnishes
⇒ When tanning leather in the leather industry
⇒ In ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy
⇒ In the oil and gas industry
⇒ In the food industry as a thickener E500.
