Description: Sodium Carbonate, commonly known as Washing Soda or Soda Ash, is a white, alkaline, water-soluble inorganic salt widely used in cleaning agents, laundry detergents, pH adjustment, and household formulations. It is valued for its strong degreasing, water-softening, and cleansing abilities, making it an essential raw material in detergents and industrial cleaning products.
Solubility: Soluble in water. Insoluble in oils.
Recommended pH Range: Effective in alkaline formulations with pH 9–11
Applications: • Laundry detergents and household cleaning powders • Dishwasher cleaning products • Water softening systems • Floor and surface cleaning formulations • pH adjustment in cosmetic and industrial products • Degreasing solutions • Bath bomb hardening agent (in minor percentages)
Function:
• Acts as a strong alkaline builder to boost cleaning efficiency • Softens hard water by binding calcium and magnesium ions • Enhances surfactant performance • Degreases and removes heavy grime • Stabilizes product pH • Improves cleaning and rinsing performance
Storage: Store in a tightly sealed container, protected from moisture and humidity. Keep in a cool, dry place away from acids, as it may react with them.
