Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash Light & Dense) | CAS 497-19-8 | Industrial Grade
Overview
Sodium Carbonate, commonly known as Soda Ash, is a vital inorganic chemical and a fundamental building block for numerous industrial processes. It appears as a white, odorless powder or granular solid that is highly soluble in water, forming a strongly alkaline aqueous solution. Based on bulk density and physical form, it is classified into two main types: Soda Ash Light (powder form) and Soda Ash Dense (granular form).

Key Applications
- Glass Manufacturing (Dense Grade): The largest application sector. Soda Ash Dense is a crucial fluxing agent in the production of flat glass, fiberglass, and container glass, significantly reducing the melting temperature of silica sand.
- Detergents & Soaps (Light Grade): Acts as a highly effective builder and water softener in powder detergents and industrial cleaning compounds.
- Water Treatment: Used to adjust the pH of water, soften hard water by precipitating calcium and magnesium ions, and neutralize acidic effluents.
- Metallurgy & Mining: Applied in the smelting process of various metals and the extraction of alumina from bauxite ores.
Packaging & Bulk Shipping
As a non-hazardous general cargo, Sodium Carbonate enjoys flexible, fast, and cost-effective shipping options globally.
- Standard Packaging: 25 KG / 40 KG / 50 KG PP woven bags with PE inner liners to prevent moisture.
- Bulk Packaging: 1000 KG / 1200 KG Jumbo Bags (FIBC) for large-scale handling and easier unloading.
- Loading Capacity: We can load approximately 21-25 MT per 20' FCL, maximizing your freight efficiency.
Storage Conditions: Store in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from moisture and acids to prevent caking and degradation.

FAQ
Q1: What documents and certifications do you provide?
A Standard shipment includes COA (Certificate of Analysis) and MSDS (SDS). We also provide ISO 9001 certification and support third-party inspections like SGS or BV upon request.
Q2: Do you provide custom synthesis or formulation services?
A Yes. If you have specific purity requirements or a unique formulation, our R&D team can provide custom synthesis and adjust the stabilizers/inhibitors to meet your technical specifications.
Q3: What are your terms of payment?
A
For Orders ≤ $1,000: 100% in advance.
For Orders > $1,000: 30% T/T in advance, and the balance before shipment or against the copy of B/L. Irrevocable L/C at sight is also acceptable for bulk orders.
Q4: How long is your price valid?
A Chemical prices fluctuate due to the changes in raw material costs and exchange rates. Please contact our sales team for the latest real-time quotation.
Q5: What packaging and shipping ports are available?
A
We normally ship from Qingdao, Shanghai, or Ningbo.
Standard packaging includes 200kg Drums or 1000kg IBC Totes. We ensure strict safety compliance for both general and hazardous chemical cargoes.
Q6: It's my first time importing chemicals — can you help?
A Absolutely. Importing chemicals requires specific documentation. Our experienced logistics team will assist you with the entire process, including handling customs clearance documents and arranging the most suitable shipping method.
