Soda Ash Light

Description

Soda ash, chemically known as sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), is a white, powdery substance critical in numerous industrial processes. This versatile compound is known for its alkaline properties and is often utilised as a pH adjuster in various applications.

Soda ash occurs naturally in mineral deposits and can also be manufactured through the Solvay process, an environmentally friendly method involving salt, limestone, and ammonia. We offer a range of soda ash grades suitable for various industrial applications.

Our Soda ash is available in several forms, including light and dense, with the specific type chosen based on its application. Our soda ash stands out for its environmental credentials. It is inherently non-toxic and non-flammable, underscoring our commitment to safety and environmental sustainability. This eco-friendly nature makes it a preferred choice across various sectors.
