  Cleansing water, fighting fire  

Products from the Tata Chemicals stable are widely used in water-cleansing equipment and in anti-pollution devices

Soda ash
Being an alkali, soda ash can increase the pH value of water by reducing its acidic content.

Light soda ash is used to manufacture water-softening chemicals. It also converts the bicarbonates in hard water into precipitates and neutralises the acids in water.

Soda ash is widely used in the treatment of aqueous and gaseous emissions. In the treatment of wastewater and potable water, it is used both to neutralise and buffer the water and to assist in the control of the pH.

Sodium bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate, by virtue of its inert nature, is used to coat combustible areas to douse fires. Fire extinguishers contain a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate.

TCL manufactures sodium bicarbonate (technical and refined) which, on further processing, are used in the production and refilling of fire-extinguishing chemicals, both handheld (used in workplaces and homes) and bigger models (used in factories).
