Sodium Sulfate

Formula: Na₂SO₄ GOST/CAS: ГОСТ 6318-77 / CAS 7757-82-6

Sodium sulfate is an inorganic compound, the sodium salt of sulfuric acid. On an industrial scale, it is a free-flowing, odorless white crystalline powder. The material is characterized by good solubility in water, chemical stability, and non-toxicity. Due to its physico-chemical properties, sodium sulfate is a crucial component in the chemical, glass, and pulp and paper industries, and also serves as the primary filler in the synthetic detergent industry.

Applications

Household Chemicals Production: Serves as the main filler (up to 50% by volume) in washing powders and synthetic detergents, improving their flowability.
Glass Industry: Used as a batch component in glass melting to lower the melting temperature and increase the transparency of the final products.
Pulp and Paper Industry: Applied in the kraft process (sulfate process) of wood pulp cooking to produce high-strength kraft paper and cardboard.
Textile and Leather Industry: Used in dyeing cotton fabrics to deepen the color, as well as in leather tanning processes.

Key Advantages

Chemical Stability: Ensures the predictability of reactions and the absence of unwanted impurities in final industrial products.
Eco-friendliness and Safety: The material is non-toxic, non-explosive, and absolutely non-combustible, making it safe at all stages of handling and production.
Cost Optimization: An effective and highly accessible filler that significantly reduces the production costs of washing powders and detergents.
Versatility: Boasts the broadest range of applications — from basic chemistry and construction to non-ferrous metallurgy and the agricultural sector.
