Sodium carbonate is widely used in the glass industry as a fluxing agent, reducing the melting point of silica to produce flat glass, container glass, and other glass products.
Na₂CO₃ is used in the detergent industry for producing washing powder and soaps, helping to remove grease and soften water.
Light soda ash is applied in the chemical industry as a raw material for producing sodium silicate, sodium bicarbonate, and other sodium salts.
Sodium carbonate is used in the paper and pulp industry to control pH and remove impurities during the pulping process.
Na₂CO₃ plays a key role in the metallurgical industry, especially in desulfurization and refining of non-ferrous metals.
Light soda ash is used in water treatment to adjust alkalinity and neutralize acidity in water.
Sodium carbonate is used in the textile industry for dyeing and bleaching processes, ensuring better color fixation.
Na₂CO₃ is also applied in food processing (food grade) as a pH regulator and leavening agent.
