Product Overview
Soda Ash (Lite) – Technical Grade
Product Overview
Soda Ash “Lite,” also known as Sodium Carbonate (Na₂CO₃), is a versatile alkaline chemical widely used for pH adjustment, cleaning, and industrial manufacturing. In water treatment, it functions as a pH buffer and alkalinity regulator, effectively softening water by precipitating calcium and magnesium ions.
In cleaning and detergent manufacturing, soda ash acts as a water softener, dispersing dirt and enhancing detergent performance. In textile processing, it serves as a pH adjuster and dye fixative, improving colorfastness in fiber-reactive dye applications.
