This means savings in the form of energy used and also increase in the life time of the furnace. Dense type of the soda ash is used for glass manufacturing, other uses of soda ash includes
- Use in Detergent Manufacturing
- As Electrolytes
- As bonding agent in dyes (bleaching fabric)
- As a water Softener
- As an Food Additive (as acidity regulator and anti caking agent)
- As an wetting agent In Brick manufacturing
