Packaging and delivery | • Packaging in 25 kg paper bags on 1.2 metric T shrink wrapped pallet or bulk bags 1.0 metric T on pallet. | |
Storage | • Sodium carbonate is particularly sensitive to hydration with caking when exposed to humidity. • After two months of storage, there are risks of caking. Store in cool and dry place. • The stacking of pallets is inadvisable. |

Uses | The chemical properties of sodium carbonate (source of carbonate, alkalinity, melting properties) allow its use in a lot of industries. Light soda ash is especially appropriate for chemical uses and processes which require fast solubility in water. Food additive E500i or Water treatment |
