Soda Ash Grades Explained: Dense vs. Light Sodium Carbonate Uses
Understanding the Grades and Uses of Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash)
Introduction-
Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃), commonly known as soda ash, is one of the most widely used inorganic chemical compounds in the world. It is a white, odorless, water-soluble salt with a mildly alkaline taste and a wide range of industrial, commercial, and household applications.
Despite its chemical consistency, sodium carbonate is available in two primary grades that differ not by chemical composition but by physical characteristics like bulk density and particle size. These grades are:
Dense Soda Ash
Light Soda Ash (Grade 100)
Understanding the distinctions between these two forms is essential for manufacturers, suppliers, and end-users because each grade is optimized for specific applications.
