Applications
Magadi soda ash is a natural soda ash, principally used in the glass industry, as it is highly suitable for the manufacture of bottles, jars, container glass, figured glass as well as flat glass. Some applications include:
-
Glass manufacture
Acts as a fluxing agent, lowering melting temperatures in glass production.
-
Detergents, soap & rayon
Provides alkalinity and water softening in cleaning products and textile processing.
-
Soda crystals manufacture
Cooled from saturated soda ash solutions to form decahydrate crystals.
-
Water softening
Removes calcium and magnesium from hard water when combined with lime.
-
Pulp & paper industry
Used in the preparation of pulping liquors, especially in semi-chemical processes.
-
Steel & metallurgy
Supports alumina production and other metallurgical processes.
-
Textiles & dyeing
Used in dyeing, bleaching, and souring of wool and cotton.
-
DENSE SODA ASH®
Dense Soda Ash, with high-density particles, ensures uniform mixing with silica, making it the preferred choice for high-quality glass production.
-
Crushed Refined Soda®
It is a naturally occurring Sodium Sesquicarbonate sourced from Lake Magadi, used for a wide range of consumer products like laundry detergent.
