Glass production

The glass production industry is the single largest use of heavy soda ash. The bulk density of Tata Chemicals Europe’s soda ash ensures uniform blending of the furnace batch and the chloride helps to prolong furnace life. Soda ash also acts as a fluxing agent in the furnace and plays a vital role in reducing the furnace temperature necessary to melt the silica used, reducing the amount of energy required to produce glass.
