Industrial Uses

1. Cleaning & Disinfectants

  • Filler Agent: Used to dilute active detergent ingredients and maintain a consistent product texture. Helps in reducing cost per kilogram without compromising cleaning performance.
  • Anti-caking Agent: Prevents clumping of detergent powders, improving shelf life and ease of handling.

2. Fabric Solutions

  • Levelling Agent: Ensures even dye distribution during dyeing processes, especially in cotton and cellulose fibers.
  • Electrolyte in Dye Baths:  Neutralizes the negative charge on textile fibers, improving dye uptake for reactive and direct dyes.

3. Pulp & Paper Solutions 

  • Kraft Process Reactant: Converts into sodium sulfide during chemical pulping, essential for breaking down lignin in wood.
  • Bleaching Agent Base: Acts as a base material for certain bleaching chemical formulations used after pulping.

4. Performance Chemicals

  • Intermediate Chemical:  Used in the production of sodium silicate, sodium dichromate, and other inorganic compounds.
  • pH Buffering Agent: Helps maintain consistent pH in chemical solutions or reactions.

5. Pharmaceuticals

  • Laxative (Historical Use): Acts as a saline laxative by drawing water into the intestines to stimulate bowel movement.
