Soda Ash Light 99.2% Sodium Carbonate Industrial Grade

Soda Ash Light 99.2% Sodium Carbonate Industrial Grade is a high-purity alkaline inorganic chemical widely used in glass manufacturing, detergent production, water treatment, chemical processing, textile manufacturing, pulp and paper production, metallurgy, and industrial cleaning applications.

Also known as Sodium Carbonate, Soda Ash has the chemical formula Na₂CO₃ and CAS No. 497-19-8. The offered Industrial Grade Soda Ash Light is supplied as a white fine powder with a target Sodium Carbonate content of ≥99.2% on a dry basis.

Its high alkalinity, good water solubility, and consistent chemical composition make Soda Ash Light a versatile raw material for pH adjustment, alkalinity control, water softening, chemical synthesis, cleaning formulations, and industrial manufacturing processes.

Soda Ash Light has a lower bulk density than Soda Ash Dense, which makes it particularly suitable for applications where rapid dissolution, easy powder handling, and blending into chemical formulations are important.

Applications

Water Treatment

Soda Ash Light is widely used in municipal and industrial water-treatment systems as an alkalinity-building and pH-adjustment chemical.

Typical applications include:

• pH adjustment

• Alkalinity adjustment

• Water softening

• Acid neutralization

• Hardness-control processes

• Municipal water treatment

• Industrial process-water treatment

• Wastewater treatment

Sodium Carbonate provides carbonate alkalinity and can support the precipitation of selected hardness-forming ions under properly designed treatment conditions.

Dosage should be determined according to the water chemistry, treatment objective, required pH, alkalinity, hardness, and process conditions.

Glass Manufacturing

Soda Ash is one of the principal alkaline raw materials used in glass production.

Applications include:

• Flat glass

• Container glass

• Fiberglass

• Specialty glass

• Silicate-based products

Sodium Carbonate helps reduce the melting temperature of silica-containing raw materials, improving processing efficiency.

For some high-volume glass applications, Soda Ash Dense may be preferred because of its higher bulk density.

Detergent & Soap Manufacturing

Soda Ash Light is commonly used in:

• Laundry detergents

• Powder detergents

• Industrial cleaners

• Soap manufacturing

• Cleaning compounds

• Alkaline washing formulations

It acts as an alkalinity builder and can improve cleaning performance while helping control water hardness.

Chemical Manufacturing

Sodium Carbonate is used as an alkaline raw material and processing reagent in the production of:

• Sodium silicates

• Sodium phosphates

• Other sodium compounds

• Industrial cleaning chemicals

• Chemical intermediates

• Inorganic chemical formulations

It may also be used for:

• Neutralization

• pH control

• Alkalinity adjustment

• Chemical synthesis

• Process conditioning

Textile Industry

Soda Ash Light is widely used in textile-processing applications, including:

• Dyeing

• Fabric preparation

• Reactive dye fixation

• pH control

• Textile washing

• Chemical finishing processes

The appropriate concentration depends on the textile substrate, dye system, and operating conditions.

Pulp & Paper Industry

Typical uses include:

• pH adjustment

• Chemical preparation

• Pulp processing

• Paper manufacturing

• Cleaning processes

• Alkalinity control

Actual application requirements depend on the specific production process.

Metallurgy & Mineral Processing

Industrial Soda Ash may be used in:

• Mineral beneficiation

• Flotation processes

• Metallurgical treatment

• Ore processing

• pH adjustment

• Chemical conditioning

• Selected metal-processing operations

Product grade and purity should be selected according to the process requirements.

Industrial Cleaning

Soda Ash Light can be incorporated into alkaline cleaning systems for:

• Industrial equipment cleaning

• Degreasing

• Cleaning powders

• Surface washing

• General-purpose industrial detergents

Recommended use levels depend on the cleaning formulation and operating conditions.

Packaging

Standard export packaging:

25 kg PP woven bags with inner PE liner

Alternative packaging may be available depending on customer requirements and order volume, including:

• 40 kg bags

• 50 kg bags

• 500 kg jumbo bags

• 1,000 kg jumbo bags

• Bulk supply

Packaging options should be confirmed before order placement.

Storage

Store Soda Ash Light under dry and clean warehouse conditions.

Recommended storage conditions:

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Keep packaging tightly closed

• Protect from rain and excessive humidity

• Protect from contamination

• Keep away from strong acids

• Store in a well-ventilated warehouse

• Keep bags above damp floors

• Avoid prolonged exposure to humid air

Sodium Carbonate can absorb moisture during storage, which may cause caking and affect handling properties.

Handling & Safety

Avoid excessive dust formation during handling.

Recommended protective measures may include:

• Safety goggles

• Suitable protective gloves

• Protective clothing

• Adequate ventilation

• Dust respiratory protection where required

Sodium Carbonate is alkaline and dust or concentrated solutions may cause eye irritation.

Avoid direct contact with eyes and wash thoroughly after handling.

Always consult the current product-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before storage, handling, transport, or industrial use.

Quality Documentation

Supporting documents may be provided according to the applicable product and shipment requirements, including:

• Technical Data Sheet (TDS)

• Certificate of Analysis (COA)

• Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

• Commercial Invoice

• Packing List

• Certificate of Origin where applicable

A batch-specific COA should contain the actual analytical results for the material supplied.

Quality Assurance

Product quality should be verified according to the applicable production specification and batch analysis.

Final Sodium Carbonate content, impurity limits, bulk density, particle characteristics, and other quality parameters should be confirmed through the manufacturer's Technical Data Sheet and the relevant batch Certificate of Analysis.
