Soda Ash Application

Rubber & Plastics Industry
Rubber & Plastics Industry

Soda ash serves as an auxiliary functional alkaline agent rather than a primary raw material. It is widely used in auxiliary agent synthesis, production process adjustment, raw material neutralization and cleaning procedures. Light soda ash is commonly adopted in the rubber and plastics industry for its fast dissolution and uniform mixing performance.

Applications of Soda Ash in Rubber and Plastics Industry

Soda ash does not directly participate in the forming of finished rubber and plastic products. Its four core functions are listed as follows:

 

  • 01

    Synthesize vulcanization, stabilization and foaming additives for rubber and plastics;

  • 02

    Stabilize the pH value of natural latex and resin;

  • 03

    Degrease and remove printing ink from new and waste rubber and plastic raw materials via cleaning;

  • 04

    Adjust water quality for production circulating water and mold cleaning.
