Sodium Sulfate Anhydrous

Sodium Sulfate Anhydrous is a white crystalline powder composed of sodium and sulfate ions, represented chemically as Na2SO4. It is supplied typically at a purity level of around 99% to meet industrial standards, ensuring consistency in performance across its applications. The product is delivered primarily in 50 kg bags, with options for bulk drum or container formats to accommodate varying order sizes. This compound is highly soluble in water but remains insoluble in organic solvents like ethanol, a characteristic important for formulators to consider during product development. It remains stable under normal temperature and pressure conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment to prevent moisture absorption and caking. Compatibility with reactive materials such as strong acids and moisture-sensitive chemicals must be factored into storage planning.

In detergent formulation, Sodium Sulfate Anhydrous acts as a filler that regulates the viscosity and enhances the flow properties of powders, directly impacting the manufacturing process and final product usability. Proper control of its concentration, typically up to 30-50% of the detergent formulation, ensures optimal physical properties. In glass manufacturing, it facilitates the removal of fine air bubbles and defects in molten glass by acting as a fining agent, contributing to improved clarity and structural integrity of the glass products. Its thermal stability at high temperatures is critical in these processes to avoid decomposition or contamination.
