The LCI brand offers high-quality Soda Ash Light, packaged in a 50kg bag, making it ideal for large-scale industrial applications. With its high purity and consistent performance, Soda Ash Light LCI is an essential raw material for industries such as glass manufacturing, detergents, chemicals, and water treatment.

Key Features:

• High Purity: Soda Ash Light LCI is produced to high purity standards, ensuring reliable and consistent performance across various industrial applications. Its fine powder form allows for easy handling and precise dosing in manufacturing processes.
• Alkaline Nature: Soda ash is a highly alkaline compound, making it effective for neutralising acids and controlling pH levels in various processes. Its alkalinity is also useful in water treatment and chemical manufacturing.
• Water Softening Agent: Soda ash is widely used as a water softening agent, helping to remove calcium and magnesium ions from water, which can cause scale buildup in pipes and machinery. This makes it essential in both domestic and industrial water treatment applications.
• Glass Manufacturing: Soda ash is a key ingredient in glass production, where it acts as a flux to lower the melting temperature of silica, enabling the production of glass with desired properties. It is used in the manufacture of flat glass, container glass, and other glass products.
• Detergent and Cleaning Products: Soda ash is a common ingredient in detergents and cleaning products, where it helps to break down grease and stains, soften water, and enhance the effectiveness of other cleaning agents.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Soda ash is used as a raw material in the production of various chemicals, including sodium silicates, sodium bicarbonate, and other sodium compounds. It also plays a role in the production of dyes, textiles, and pharmaceuticals.

Applications:

Soda Ash Light LCI in 50kg packaging is suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, including:

• Glass Industry: Soda ash is a fundamental ingredient in the glass manufacturing process, where it reduces the melting temperature of silica and helps produce glass with specific characteristics. It is used in the production of flat glass for windows, container glass for bottles and jars, and other glass products.
• Detergents and Cleaning Products: In the detergent industry, soda ash acts as a builder, enhancing the cleaning power of detergents by softening water and breaking down grease and stains. It is also used in household cleaning products and industrial cleaning solutions.
• Water Treatment: Soda ash is commonly used in water treatment processes to soften water, adjust pH levels, and remove impurities. It is effective in both domestic and industrial water treatment systems, preventing scale buildup and improving water quality.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Soda ash is a key raw material in the production of various chemicals, including sodium silicates, sodium bicarbonate, and other sodium-based compounds. It is also used in the manufacture of dyes, textiles, and pharmaceuticals.
• Pulp and Paper Industry: In the pulp and paper industry, soda ash is used in the chemical pulping process, where it helps to break down wood chips and separate cellulose fibres from lignin, enabling the production of paper.

Packaging and Handling:

• 50kg Bag: Soda Ash Light LCI is available in a 50kg bag, providing a convenient bulk quantity for industrial and commercial use. The packaging is designed to protect the product from moisture and contamination, ensuring that it remains dry and free-flowing during storage and handling.
• Safe Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is tightly sealed when not in use to prevent caking and maintain the product’s quality.
• Handling Precautions: While soda ash is generally non-toxic, it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system if not handled properly. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, goggles, and masks, when handling the product.

Safety Considerations:

• Irritant Properties: Soda ash can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Avoid direct contact with the powder, and ensure proper ventilation in work areas to prevent inhalation of dust.
• Environmental Impact: Soda ash is generally considered environmentally safe when used and disposed of properly. However, large quantities should be handled in accordance with local regulations to prevent environmental contamination.
