Sodium Sulfate Industrial Grade

Sodium Sulfate, with the chemical formula Na2SO4, is a widely-used inorganic salt appearing as a white, odorless, crystalline powder. This substance, also known as sulfate salt, is found in two main forms: the anhydrous form, which is common in industry, and the hydrated form (decahydrate or Glauber's salt). As part of its comprehensive portfolio of basic chemical products and drawing on three decades of experience, Mihan Zaj Company produces and supplies industrial-grade sodium sulfate to meet the needs of the country's key industries, particularly the detergent and glass sectors.

What is Sodium Sulfate?

Sodium sulfate is a neutral (in terms of pH), non-toxic, and stable compound that is readily soluble in water. The most significant economic feature of this product is its use as a filler in various industries.

In the detergent industry, sodium sulfate acts as a low-cost filling agent that adds bulk to the washing powder, improves its flowability, and helps regulate viscosity, without interfering with the washing process. Additionally, due to its high thermal stability, it plays a significant role in industrial manufacturing processes.

Key Applications of Sodium Sulfate

This industrial salt has wide-ranging applications, the most important of which include:

  • Detergent Industry (Primary Application):

    • As the primary filler in the production of laundry detergents (as a drying and bulking agent).
  • Glass Manufacturing Industry:

    • As a fining agent; it helps to remove small gas bubbles from the molten glass and prevents the formation of scum.
  • Textile Industry:

    • In fabric dyeing processes, especially with direct dyes, it acts as a leveling agent, promoting better penetration of the dye into the fibers.
  • Pulp and Paper Industry (Kraft Process):

    • In the Kraft pulping process for the chemical recovery cycle.
  • Chemical Industries:

    • As a raw material in the production of some other chemical substances.

Advantages of Mihan Zaj's Sodium Sulfate

  • High Purity and Uniformity: A product with guaranteed purity and suitable granulation.

  • White and Bright Color: Free from colored impurities, ideal for the detergent and glass industries.

  • Competitive Pricing: An economical raw material to reduce production costs.

  • Stable Supply: The ability to fulfill orders in the volumes required by industries.

Packaging and Storage

Mihan Zaj's sodium sulfate is supplied in 25 kg and 50 kg laminated bags, as well as jumbo bags (typically 1 ton). This product is slightly hygroscopic (though less so than its hydrated form) and should be stored in sealed bags in a dry, cool warehouse, away from high humidity.

 

Safety Precautions

Sodium sulfate is considered a very safe, non-toxic, and non-corrosive substance. Handling it does not pose serious chemical hazards. However, its dust may cause minor eye or respiratory irritation, so wearing a dust mask and safety goggles is recommended when handling large volumes.
