What is the use of sodium sulfate?
The use of sodium sulfate in the detergent industry
If you want to know what are the useful features of sodium sulfate, stay with us until the end of the article:
- High cleaning ability is one of the applications of sodium methoxide
- Tendency to react at high temperatures
- Neutrality of sodium sulfate at low temperature
- High impact on the colloidal properties of the cleaning system
The things mentioned have made this product a main raw material in the production process of products in the detergent manufacturing industry.
What are the uses of sodium sulfate?
- Glass industries
- The agent that prevents the formation of whiteness by molten glass during refining
- It acts as an extraction agent in molten glass and removes small air bubbles in glass blowing and molding processes.
- Can be used in paper and wood industries
- Sodium sulfate is widely used in the paper and wood industry in the kraft process (sulfate process) in order to
- produce wood pulp.
- Dyeing industries
- This material is used in dyeing as a load modifier on textile and fabric surface, in printing textile goods.
- Production of chemicals
- It is used as a raw material in the production of chemicals such as: lead sulfate – potassium sulfate – sodium sulfate.
- Drug manufacturing industry
- Sodium sulfate does not dissolve in alcohol.
89.3% solution of sodium sulfate, which is usually in its injectable form and has the same pressure as blood serum. Before gastrointestinal surgery and to empty the digestive tract, bisulfite is prescribed to the patient along with the concentrated polymer compounds of ethylene oxide and water called macrogel.
Application of sodium methoxide in soap and detergents
A major part of the consumption of sodium sulfate in detergents in recent years has been as a filler. Of course, the use of sodium sulfate as a filler in powder detergents is decreasing, which is due to the approach that has emerged in the field of using concentrated liquid detergents instead of using powder formulas that are more voluminous.
Application of sodium methoxide in dyeing and textile industries
Every year, hundreds of thousands of tons of sodium sulfate are used in the textile industry to dye fabrics. This substance causes uniform penetration and even level of color in fabric tissues, and unlike sodium chloride, it does not cause steel pipes to rust.
Sodium sulfate is used in dyeing as a load modifier on textile and fabric surface, in printing textile goods.
Application of sodium sulfate in paper and wood industries
Sodium sulfate is widely used in the paper and wood industry (wood pulp) in the kraft process (sulfate process) to produce wood pulp and is widely used in making paper and some building materials.
Application in glass industry
Sodium sulfate is also used in glass making and glassware industries. Sodium sulfate prevents the formation of whiteness by molten glass during refining. Sodium sulfate acts as an extraction agent in molten glass and removes small air bubbles in glass blowing and molding processes.
Safety of sodium sulfate
Although sodium sulfate is known as a non-toxic substance, it should be used with care. Its dust can lead to temporary asthma or eye damage, but it can be easily avoided with eye protection or a mask. Its transportation is not restricted and it is not included in the safety and protection list.
Well, the cases we talked about up to this point were cases where sodium sulfate can be used, Marco Chemicals is one of the largest producers of sodium methoxide in Iran. The sale of sodium methoxide and also the sale of sodium hydroxide are products that are produced in this factory and supplied to all places.
