Product overview

Soda ash (sodium carbonate) is one of the most basic inorganic chemical raw materials: a white powder or granule, readily soluble in water giving an alkaline solution. By use it splits into industrial grade and food grade; industrial grade is further divided into dense and light soda ash — dense ash has higher bulk density and less dust and suits large-scale feeding in glass and metallurgy, while light ash dissolves faster and is mostly used in detergents and chemical synthesis. Food-grade soda ash has stricter limits on heavy metals and arsenic and is used in food processing and food additives.

Industrial grade soda ash: glass making, detergents, metallurgy, paper, printing and dyeing, water treatment.

Food grade soda ash: food processing, flour products, food additives, monosodium glutamate and amino acid production.

Buying notes

Choose the grade by use: glass and metallurgy normally take dense ash; detergents, household chemicals and water treatment mostly take light ash; for food and flour products always choose food grade and tell us when ordering — we supply food grade and provide batch documents accordingly.

FAQ

Light or dense soda ash — which one?

Large-scale feeding in glass and metallurgy usually uses dense ash (less dust, higher bulk density); detergents, household chemicals and water treatment usually use light ash (dissolves faster). If you are not sure, tell us the application and we will match it for you.

What is the difference between food grade and industrial grade?

Food grade has stricter limits on heavy metals and arsenic and is used in food processing and food additives. For food and flour products please chooseFood gradeand say so when ordering.

Can I buy just one bag? Can I get a sample first?

From one bag; you canSamplesfirst; just let us know by WeChat or email once the sample is sent.

Can light and dense ash be mixed?

Mixing is not recommended. Feeding equipment and processes are built around a certain bulk density, and mixing may affect metering and reaction. Choosing one grade by use is safer; if unsure, tell us the application and we will match it.

How soon can you ship?

In-stock orders are arranged the same day, normally dispatched within 24–48 hours and shipped within a week. For urgent orders, call us and we will do our best to move yours up.

What if something looks wrong on arrival?

First check the product name, quantity and packaging; if you find torn bags or damp material, pleasephotograph it firstand contact us the same day; we will check against the batch and handle it.
