Basic Properties

- Appearance & Odor:

  •  Anhydrous: White, odorless powder or granular solid (light/dense grades);

  • Monohydrate: White crystalline powder;

  • Decahydrate: Colorless, transparent crystals or white crystalline powder; non-corrosive, non-flammable

- Melting Point: 851 °C (1564 °F) (anhydrous); Decahydrate loses crystal water at 34 °C, decomposes at 100 °C; Monohydrate loses water at 100-150 °C

- Boiling Point: Decomposes at temperatures above 1600 °C, producing sodium oxide (Na₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂); no distinct boiling point

- Density: Anhydrous: 2.532 g/cm³ (25 °C); Light soda ash: 0.5-0.7 g/cm³ (bulk density); Dense soda ash: 1.0-1.2 g/cm³ (bulk density)

- Solubility: Highly soluble in water (21.5 g/100 mL at 20 °C; 45.5 g/100 mL at 100 °C); slightly soluble in ethanol; insoluble in acetone and ether; solubility increases with temperature

Main Applications

1. Glass Industry – Core Raw Material

As the most important raw material for glass production (accounting for 50%-60% of total consumption), it reduces glass melting temperature, improves transparency and mechanical strength. Widely used in flat glass, container glass, optical glass and specialty glass, with stable performance and cost-effectiveness.

2. Chemical Industry – Fundamental Intermediate

A key basic chemical raw material, it is used to produce sodium bicarbonate, sodium silicate, dyes, detergents and pharmaceuticals. It acts as a neutralizer and pH adjuster in industrial reactions, with excellent chemical stability and wide compatibility.

3. Detergent & Cleaning Industry

Used as a builder and pH regulator in detergents, soaps and industrial cleaners. It enhances decontamination ability, softens hard water, and improves cleaning efficiency. Environmentally friendly, compliant with industrial emission standards, suitable for household and industrial cleaning.

4. Paper Industry – Pulping & Bleaching Auxiliary

Applied in alkaline pulping and bleaching processes, it removes lignin from raw materials, improves pulp whiteness and strength. It also adjusts pulp pH, reduces equipment corrosion, and optimizes pulping efficiency for cultural paper, packaging paper and cardboard.

5. Water Treatment & Environmental Protection

As an efficient water treatment agent, it adjusts water pH, removes heavy metal ions and turbidity, and softens water quality. Suitable for industrial wastewater, municipal sewage and drinking water treatment, with low cost and good treatment effect.

6. Other Industrial Applications

Used in metallurgy (flux for ore smelting), textile dyeing (fixing agent and pH adjuster), and construction (auxiliary for cement and concrete). It also serves as a food additive (E500) for pH regulation and leavening, compliant with food safety standards.

Safety Precautions

1. Safety & Handling Instructions

  • Use in well-ventilated areas; avoid dust buildup (soda ash is a white crystalline powder, prone to dispersion).

  • Avoid skin, eye, and respiratory contact; do not ingest (causes severe irritation and burns).

  • Wash hands thoroughly after handling; prohibit eating, drinking, or smoking in work zones.

  • Handle containers gently to prevent spillage; minimize dust and avoid contact with moisture (may form corrosive solutions).

2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

  • Eye/Face: Chemical safety goggles and face shield (prevents severe eye damage from dust or solutions).

  • Hands: Heavy-duty chemical-resistant gloves (neoprene or butyl rubber) to avoid skin burns.

  • Body: Impervious lab coat, protective clothing, and boots (prevents fabric contamination and skin exposure).

  • Respiratory: NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator (required for large quantities, spill cleanup, or poor ventilation).
