What is flake soda
Flake soda is a white translucent flake solid, allowing microstrip color, flake soda is the basic chemical raw material, widely used in papermaking, synthetic washing and soap, viscose fiber, rayon and cotton fabrics and other textile industries, pesticides, dyes, rubber and chemical industries, oil drilling, refining petroleum oil and refining tar oil oil industry, as well as national defense industry, machinery industry, wood processing, metallurgical industry, pharmaceutical industry and urban construction.
It is also used in the manufacture of chemicals, paper, soap and detergent, rayon and cellophane, the processing of bauxite to alumina, and also in the mercerization of textiles, water treatment, etc.
Physical and chemical properties: The pure product is a colorless transparent crystal with a relative density of 2.130, a melting point of 318.4 °C and a boiling point of 1390 °C.
The difference between granular soda and flake soda
Flake soda is what we usually call sodium hydroxide, which is a basic chemical raw material, which is widely used in light industries such as papermaking and cotton fabrics, chemical industry, machinery industry, metallurgical industry, etc. Many users will compare granular alkali with flake alkali, and don’t know what the difference is between the two.
From a literal point of view, the biggest difference between granular soda and flake soda is that the shape is different, granular soda is granular, while flake soda is flaked.
In addition, the processing methods of granular soda and flake soda are also different. Granular alkali is obtained by drying and granulating directly after production, while flake alkali is obtained by pressing tablets. In terms of application, granular alkali is easy to use and easy to weigh, and can be mainly used in laboratory use. The cost of flake alkali is low, and it is suitable for industrial large-scale production.
What is the difference between flake soda and soda ash
Flake soda is a basic chemical raw material, which has its room to play in the chemical industry, petroleum industry, machinery industry and other industries. But now there are some soda ash and caustic soda on the market, and users will have doubts when buying, not knowing if there is a difference between them, or if they are using one thing. The difference between flake soda and soda ash is mainly understood through the following two points.
1. Flake soda refers to solid flake sodium hydroxide, and sometimes its solution is caustic soda. And soda ash refers to sodium carbonate, commonly known as baking soda powder for civil use.
2. It should be noted that flake alkali is a dangerous chemical, when diluted with water, it is necessary to slowly add water to flake soda and stir constantly, at the same time, it will be accompanied by a large amount of heat release in the dilution process, and the temperature needs to be controlled.
