Soda Ash Dense / Light 

Soda Ash, whose chemical name is Sodium Carbonate  and chemical formula is  Na2CO3, is a white free-flowing granular product.  The soda ash manufactured by Solvay in Europe uses the Solvay process developed by Solvay’s founders almost 150 years ago.  Solvay also produces soda ash in the USA in Wyoming where its production is based on the refining of a sodium rich ore called trona.

Soda Ash is available in 2 grades: Soda Ash Dense (SODA SOLVAY® DENSE) which is produced both in Europe and in the USA and Soda Ash Light (SODA SOLVAY® LIGHT) which is only produced in Europe.

Soda Ash Dense

The dense grade has a bulk density of ~1 t per m3 and a Particle-Median-Diameter (D50) of 300 to 500 microns. 

Soda Ash Dense is the grade preferred for glass manufacture because its granular properties make it dust-free and reduce the risks of segregation during transport and handling.

Soda Ash Light

The light grade has a bulk density of ~0,5 t per m3.  The D50 of approximately 100 microns is very well suited for detergent and chemical applications.
