Soda Ash Application

Daily Chemical & Detergent Industry
Daily Chemical & Detergent Industry

Light soda ash is exclusively adopted in the daily chemical and detergent industry. Featuring fine powder texture, fast dissolution rate and rapid chemical reaction, it serves as the core basic raw material for laundry powder, industrial cleaners and soap products. Its key functions fall into five categories: water softening, stain emulsification, pH buffering, saponification and dirt dispersion. Its applications are mainly divided into two major segments: household washing products (civil daily chemicals) and industrial cleaning products (industrial daily chemicals).

Household Washing Products (Civil Daily Chemicals)

There are four main application categories:

1. Laundry powder (largest consumption volume): Light soda ash acts as a functional base filler in laundry powder, with a dosage proportion ranging from 10% to 30%.

2. Production of solid laundry soap, transparent soap and soap base.

3. Liquid laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid and kitchen & bathroom cleaners.

4. Scale removers compounded from light soda ash and sodium bicarbonate; light soda ash is also the primary raw material for drain cleaners, fabric yellowing & stain removers and carpet stain cleaners.

 

Industrial Cleaning Segment (Industrial Daily Chemicals)

It has four major application fields:

1. Textile industrial cleaning (pretreatment auxiliary agents)

2. Metal surface degreasing & cleaning

3. Deinking agents for papermaking

4. Industrial cleaners for vehicles, exterior walls and pipelines
