Soda Ash Dense has a higher density lowers the temperature at which sand melts when making glass. Glass that uses soda ash is flat glass (windows, automotive, mirrors) and container glass (food and beverage bottles, tumblers and serving dishes). Soda ash is also used in detergents, directly as a water softener in dry mix, and as a raw material for other detergent chemicals. Soda Ash is used for neutralization (lead-acid battery recycling, environmental acid controls) and in aluminum manufacturing. In addition to being a fundamental ingredient in glass manufacturing, soda ash is necessary to petroleum refining, pulp and paper production. Soda ash is one of the ten highest volume minerals produced in North America and constitutes nearly 25% of every pound of glass manufactured. It�?�¢??s used in Ceramics, chemical reagents, soaps, electroplating, metal cleaning, paper coating, enameling, and other general chemical uses.
